It’ll take a while for you to get the right seat adjustment when driving, and most of the time, you’ll have to lift your head up because you can’t see what’s up ahead. The person sitting behind you will appreciate the leg room, though.

It’s really tempting to go to the kids or teens section and buy your clothes there because you know for a fact that it’ll fit better than the regular men’s section. That’s quite alright. Although you’re pretty sure that those at the women’s section look nice too. Hm.

Club bouncers will always mistake you for being a minor; and the embarrassing part is that you have to bring out your driver’s license just to prove you’re not.
