Short(er) people of Lemmy--what are some lifehacks you figured out that've helped you out?

Here's some of mine:

  • Camping tables are generally shorter than typical desks, and helped ease some posture issues I had sitting at a desk that was too high for me. (Even adjustable desks still were too high for me at their lowest setting.)
  • When a place I lived in had a washer that was too tall for me to reach the bottom in (from the top), I found I could use kitchen tongs to get things like socks out of the bottom.

My feet don't touch the ground on chair height toilets. I don't know about you but it is very uncomfortable to try and use it while your feet are dangling. To solve this I've repurposed a single step stool that lives in the restroom at home.

For most other things I have a thing-grabber, tongs, and a tall person I can summon by pathetically crying out "tall person!"

I have a thing-grabber, tongs, and a tall person

is that all the same person?
