only handy for reaching the top shelves in the grocery store and being able to screw in lightbulbs without standing on a chair..at the same time, chairs are always to short..and so are jeans..annoying as all get out and hard on the back. Aaron is just in pain from working the cash registar at the grocery store..it is too low and he has to bend over to reach the scanner..his back hurts so bad..i can see it in his face when i zip in and out of the store..when your tall like that in a world meant for 5'5 tis uncomfortable.
