The Woe's of being short
10 years ago
I know many will say "Being tall is worst!" "You arent that short Im REALLY Short!" or anything of the likes and this isnt a journal about which is better and blah blah blah this is just a little funny thing.
So compared to most of the people I know, I am short. I'm around 5"8' when most of the guys I know are 5"10'. I know there are plenty who are shorter who have it worse. Recently I have been having issues with light bulbs. In one night, all the kitchen bulbs went out. So I got new ones and not knowing anything about watts and electrical hoobily boobily....I got 4 100W and 4 60W bulbs. Yeah you see where this is going I know.
My roommate being well over 6 feet tall snags the bulbs and reaches up, unscrews the fixture and puts the new bulbs in. Well, both of us being not of the smart with light bulbs, we put 1 60w and 2 100w bulbs in 1 light and 1 60w with a 100w in the other, then he screwed it back on.
Now he just stood there and did that. In order for me to do that I would have to pull over something to stand up on, be shakey the whole time as I spend forever getting the fixture off. I mean it even goes to getting breakfast in the morning. If the dish washer is open and I want to get my box I have to open the freezer door cause the cereal is in the cabinet behind the fridge.
But anyways as you might have guessed, all the new light bulbs popped, guess you shouldn't mix wattages. Lesson learned. This all popped into my head because it was less than a week ago since that happened, and I get out of the shower and get back in my room to find the light bulb went out. Good thing I have a foot rest.
tl;dr Changing light bulbs sucks when you are short. Don't mix 60watt with 100watt cause that's dumb. Thank goodness for sour gummy worms.
