Do you think this is annoying?
I hate it when people are condescending towards me. I'm 18 and I run into people who talk down to me. These people talk to me like I'm a little kid. I know I'm short, but what gives man?( I'm 5'1)
What do you think? Do people do this to you too?

Yes I find patronising people hideously annoying - I wouldn't imagine it's too much to do with height (at 5'10") but more their assumption that I don't know what they are talking about. As it happens, not only do I usually know just what they are talking about, but often I know more about it than they do.
I'm happy to learn, of course, but I hate being spoken to as if I'm a clueless idiot. I like people who naturally treat others as equals.

I think that you shuold deal with it. There is nothing to do with it. You cant change your height, so...
Yah, people dont like other people who arent really like them. Also it is kinda inconvenient to talk with small people. Sorry, had to say this, just for you to know.
