Short(er) people of Lemmy--what are some lifehacks you figured out that've helped you out?

Here’s some of mine:

  • Camping tables are generally shorter than typical desks, and helped ease some posture issues I had sitting at a desk that was too high for me. (Even adjustable desks still were too high for me at their lowest setting.)
  • When a place I lived in had a washer that was too tall for me to reach the bottom in (from the top), I found I could use kitchen tongs to get things like socks out of the bottom.
Toes,

You can drop an egg on its side on a flat surface to get a perfect break.

Lemminary,

I’ve never had problems for being short. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention but there’s nothing a stool or a chair can’t fix. Also, climbing on furniture is easy but rare. 🤷‍♂️

Every single one of my kitchen cabinets is too high and I can only reach the bottom shelf. My kitchen tongs double as a grabby thing so I can reach stuff. I bought a rather large kitchen cart/portable island thing and that’s where the dishes live and it doubles as my cooking prep station since it’s slightly lower than my counters.

Tell your kids the boogie man and witches are afraid of books and reading, so if we read, they won’t come 😁.
