Short man syndrome

Dave2lDave2l
in Not Sports Related
Has anyone noticed, perhaps in a workplace, that short men tend to be randomly unnecessarily aggressive and always a little bit on the edge? It kind of comes out of nowhere. I remember one of them randomly just shouting. 

It's kind of like they feel a desperate need to give off the impression that they are hard.

Apparently it is actually an evolutionary trait.

Lionel messi is a chilled secure short bloke. They should all be looking up to him (assuming they are a bit shorter than messi) 

There's nothing wrong with being short. Just watch lord of the rings, the hobbit, have a beer and don't support Charlton.

    Did you swap a lung for an arm on a drunken night out?

    I wonder if other clubs’ forums have such weird topics/posters or it’s just us.

    It's usually known as Napoleon syndrome after Napoleon Bonaparte.

    He is a nice guy yeh but he's not short, he's a midget.

    This particular discussion is a bit unusual but it's down to short people I've recently met in a working environment and they have anger issues.

    I put short 2 and 2 together and got 4foot 12

    If you Google short man syndrome, you will find out that it is actually a genuine psychological difficulty.

    There is nothing wrong with being short. 

    It's just the short person may believe there is something wrong and they can often express it.

    I don't think short man syndrome is a problem for every shortish individual. 

    It's just every now and again you may meet an angry short Scott parker

    It’s no wonder short people get angry if you call them midgets.  That’s seen a derogatory word

    In his prime, Chris Solly was better than John Terry

    In a previous role (nearly 40 years ago so really previous!) the CEO was about 5'. His office desk was huge with a boardroom table coming off it at 90 degrees - and somewhat lower. All the chairs were low and his big chair was high - and when you looked under the table you could see his feet dangling about 2 feet off the ground. He was a horrible little shit!

    Still, it was the workplace (Pearce Signs in New Cross) where I met my missus, so not all bad.

    P.S. I hasten to add that I'm 5'10" so totally agree with Blackpool!

    It's about time the mods on here banned everyone under 5 foot 8.

    That's a bit sexist!

    I try and borrow money off them.
    But they're always a bit short.

    Or in a rut.
