Being tall is definitely a drag when it comes to sitting in coach on a long plane ride.
And it seriously limits the choice of cars I can consider (my head hits the roof in about half the models that would otherwise be candidates).
But it’s a big (sorry) advantage when it comes to sneaking into office meetings late — or ducking out early.
At over 6′ 3″ in my (Realtor) slip-on’s, I’m just tall enough to peek over the cubicle dividers in the room where the meeting is held.
