I hate stools. I'm not talking about the brown ones that come out of my ass, either, although for the record they have been quite unpleasant lately because I've been eating so much crap. (After all, you are what you eat.) No, the stools that I hate are the chairs that are a zillion feet off the ground for no discernible reason other than some idiot decided to make high tables because they look cool. Or for a bar, which at least makes sense.
As a short person, I find stools extremely difficult to navigate. How am I supposed to scoot closer to the table? My legs are at least four feet off the damn ground. Whoever invented non-bar stool and table sets clearly hated those of us who are vertically challenged. Yet another reason the Randy Newman song "Short People have No Reason to Live" resonates with me every once in a blue moon. (My mom used to serenade me with that song.)
Yes, I had a challenging dinner tonight. Dosas are delicious, but not on my lap and on the floor. Harumph.

I think some stools are ok, but only if they have proper foot rests and backs. I HATE stools with no backs. Even worse is no backs and no foot rests. Then you feel like you are falling and do damage to your back . . .
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen table & chairs are up high, but they are awesome. I agree with mara on the stool policy. However, I use my shortness to swing my feet and kick people that walk by. It's very entertaining for me.
ReplyDeleteActually, I hate stools for the exact opposite reason... they're often too short and too close to the ground for little-old-long-legged me. (excluding bar stools which are nearly perfect, but you need a high table)
ReplyDeleteI should have been more specific - it is bar stools that are not for bars that I loathe.
