Short shaming...

I actually had a meeting with hr. When I buy a snack I'll put it in the very top on the cabinet go do something then get it when I get back. Apparently that's offensive to short folks.

I told them if people wouldn't steal food I'd leave it out and its not their food so what does it matter where I put it. So why I'm here how about the new badge I've been asking for weeks about?

I'm 6'4 I was told to be more sensitive to my co-workers under 6'-0". Don't drink alcohol when taking tide pods
Hello; casually mention when the short people are around that we all be even shorter as we get older. I was a bit over 5' 10" for most of my adult life. I am now not quite 5' 9". I was not happy about this but do not need others to feel bad about it.
I came to terms with my adult height in my early 20's. We each get dealt a genetic phenotype and there is not much we can do about it. I guess we can maximize our potential with proper diet and exercise but not by much. Some folks win the genetic lottery and get most of the more desireable traits. Most of us get average stuff. Some get a combination of the bad traits.

I forget the name of the book by Kurt Vonnegut (sp) some decades ago. his imagined society forced everyone to be average. If you had excellent vision you had to wear corrective lenses not to improve vision but to distort our good vision down to the "average". They were called handicaps I believe. If you were healthy and fit you had to wear weights to be like most folks. I guess this means these ridiculous notions have been around for some time but now have started to become mainstream.

Get a pair of lift shoes to increase your natural height. Rains your desk up a few inches and the office chair. Post notices on the bulletin board way up high.

Per the CDC at least 234 women in the US are infected with the virus.Time to stock up on the Deep Woods OFF!
 
Without me doing research, is Zika only dangerous to unborn babies?
 
Serious or joking ?

Dead serious. I thought it was a joke and started laughing. He said no I'm serious this isn't funny. I told them to go pound sand in a nice way.

We rebranded and declared war on plastics. They're taking the f-ing vending machines due to too much plastic being sold. I asked about recycling and was told it costs too much lol.

Our main office is oil based mind you. No no don't look at the oil look over there see the bastards with plastic straws get them.

They've been getting feed back from the young engineers group since they're so fresh and woke. The vending machines was one of their brilliant ideas. The lead chair for the young group got sent home early last week due to whining so much about it being too hot and dirty in the field.

This country has gone nuts with people imposing their insecurities on everyone else to the point others have to accomodate their hang ups.
What will they do next,sit the cabinets on the floor?......furthermore when will the employers address the theft of people's food?

I know man it's on my last nerve.
