Bob, even at 6 feet or so, lots of cars are uncomfortable. Especially the back seats. I sometimes bang my head on a turn taken at much speed when I'm in the back seat of lots of Japanese cards. And my legs get so cramped up it's a misery.

That's one reason I can't stand driving to Vegas. I am in a vicious mood by the time the trip is done, especially in the back seat.

I don't quite agree that there is a lot of disrespect for short guys. I think they have more problem with women than men by far. I've met a ton of guys with short-man syndrome, angry at tall guys, even verbalizing that specifically. But I never even think about anyone else's height, much less judge them by it. I've heard a lot of tall guys say they've met their share of short guys who were super angry at them from the get go for no reason. I really can't recall it going the other way around. I think it's just the uncomfortable feeling that tall people MIGHT be thinking poorly of short ones that sets some short people off. Some of them just carry it around until they find the right time to explode on somebody.

Tall dudes, unless they're really tall, don't really worry whether they're short or tall, because they've already won that lottery and so that's the end of the subject for them. They're not haunted about it, or insecure. To whatever extent it's an issue, being tall resolves it automatically.
