Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why? Height doesn't automatically equate to back problems. Uneven weight distribution (belly, boobs, etc.), poor stretching habits, lack of excerise, bad posture/form/lifting, or injury equate to back problems at ANY height.

Its mostly because we gotta use the kitchen sink, bath sink, toilet chairs, bed, couch etc for mini people. So having to crouch all the time would do your back in quick.

I have a friend that is 5'7.5" and that really is the threshold. Because after that, you're taller than a standard door frame and have to duck to go in or out of anywhere.

What tiny standards for doorframes do you have???

Is your friend 5'7.5 or 6'7.5? 6'8" doors are really common, so I'm guessing the latter.
