The true way is not to reach things for others, but to lift others so they themselves can reach.

"Why yes, I'd be happy to. I'm a professional tall person."

As a short person I cannot hesitate. I may neither ask, nor wait to be bidden. When an artifact is loosed from the grip of another, I retrieve it with grace and expediency. The knees and the backs of the giants and ancients are precious things that must be preserved. This is the law of the little.

When I bought my house it had been abandoned for years, so I had to remodel the whole thing. When I built the counters and cabinets I accidentally built everything based on my height, so everything in the house is a good 3-4 inches higher than most houses. Everything looks fine and works fine for me, but I have to get a lot of things down for the wife, and we have to have a couple different steps stools around.

I'm of average height, so when I saw a short old lady not able to reach the pepsi at the top of the cooler, I was very happy to get to help. I don't get that opportunity too often

As a short person who often can't reach stuff on the top shelves at work, please offer. I can't ask because I'm working, but I genuinely appreciate everyone who offers to help.

I appreciate the giants. I'm very short and need help reaching things regularly. If I was one inch shorter, I'd be considered a little person legally. At least here in the US. I'm 4'11 🥲

I do ask on planes as regards the overhead bins because it's pretty obvious that it's gonna be near impossible for some people and I want to save them the embarrassment, suffering, and possibly injury to themselves and those around them.

I'm no even that tall but I must seem more "approachable" I guess? I get often asked by older woman to grab something for them.

This is the way.
