This.

Thankfully the only part of my open living space where the ceiling is 8' is in the kitchen. Even still, my 5-8 (probably 5-7 now) body can't get to the top shelves.

Fellow short king.  I knew I liked you.

Hotels that don't have bar soap, and only have pump-top body wash, in the shower. I mean, I'm sure it saves you 15 cents per guest, but seriously you can't just give me a bar of damn soap?

Also, hotels with shower heads that are about 5'10" above the shower floor. An extra foot of pipe to raise that higher is not a ton of money, and it would make sure I don't have to practically do a squat to rinse my hair. I know I'm an outlier with my height, but any man over 6' tall is going to be annoyed with that shower head.

My peeve is that soap. The bar soap is trash and pump soap is nicer on the skin.

Seems like websites are asking you to accept cookies and pop-up permissions on every single visit.Except CFB fan forums. And why does it seem all the online newspaper sites that end in Times are behind a paywall

The cookie thing has to do with European data privacy laws. 

And the paywall thing is because those people finally figured out a basic thing about business.

Fortunately, only affects 3-5% of guys worldwide, and only 14% in the USA. 

My pet peeve as a short guy --- tall guys whining about being tall.

Eat a dick.  :)
As MDT says, I'm not whining about being tall. I'm complaining about builders being short-sighted [pun intended] and cutting unnecessary corners that exclude a good portion of the population.

Per your last point, I'm not all that interested... But even if I were, at my height it would certainly not be physically pleasant...

Eh. I'm not precious. I don't worry about my skin from soap, especially the limited number of days I spend in hotels. 

Hell, in a pinch I'll use bar soap on my hair. It's not like I ever let it grow long enough to worry about damage or split ends.

My pet peeve is not being able to reach a handheld showerhead in a bathroom for people who are abnormally tall.
