As a short person one of my pet peeves is when there is a social event and they have those "tall tables" that you stand around. Or if there is nowhere to sit down and you have to stand and talk to people.

I'm seriously considering having a little step stool in my bag because talking in a circle while standing is so annoying.

It's hard to hear people.
It's hard to see their faces.

If the whole room is full of people and it's a little dark then it's like being in a scary forest.
