> I agree that sounds frustrating. Respectfully though, it sounds like you're a special case

It would be interesting to know the numbers on this. Height is not going to tell the answer though, you as people of the same height have wildly variably limb length.

I know half a dozen people who have the same issue and they vary from 1.9-2.1m tall.

I don't work in a circus.

1.9m is 6' 3", already in the 93rd percentile of US adult males according to this chart. https://preview.redd.it/oruqlgczepp91.png?auto=webp&s=cb797f... 2.1m is in the 99th percentile. Maybe you just have a lot of very tall friends.

Maybe. I used to like being tall, but seeing a colleague use a fixed height desk as a standing desk has made me reconsider.
Short people would seem likely to be comfortable in more places.

  I think once you get past the 95th percentile in any metric like that things start to get more difficult. I'm not even that tall and I sometimes have trouble finding pants that fit me. I imagine there are probably similar difficulties on the other end of the spectrum being below the 5th percentile.

  This is true, above 190 cm in height some things become issues. Above 2 m must be inconvenient pretty often.
