Yep, one size fits all if you are a minimum of 5'8"...

And the best place to hide something is above my eyelevel.

Very true ...

I would add that most cars are not built for the tall.

I'm sure others could comment on seats not built to accomodate those who are particularly wide or narrow of fundament, etc.

Seldom is anything ergonomically designed to fit a wide range of people sizes.

Annoying, isn't it?

Not to mention the left-handed, who have a lower life expectancy than the right-handed, probably due to accidents.

Aye...

There's no probably to it. It's been scientifically proven that we kill ourselves off because the world is made for you righties. It's a bitch for me to find a freaking kitchen knife that I can use.

The average left handed woman has a life expectancy equal to a right handed man, give or take 2 years. If you're a left handed man, pick your burial method young. You'll need it.

Not for the Short?

Nor the tall, nor the heavy, nor anyone else that fails to fit the abnormal "norms" that some quack somewhere has set. I often think that these "norms" were in fact just the perfect measurements of some idiot ergonomicist who just wanted the world to think that he was "normal".
