Having small hands has its perks on some good days, like if your fork, spoon and knives decide to hide behind a cupboard you don’t stress because you can reach it, your entire hand can also get to the bottom of any snack you’re eating, but it’s not always good times. Here are 8 struggles people with small hands face.

1. People are always measuring their palms against yours

You have either found yourself in a relationship through “let’s measure our hands” or people just use you to make themselves feel better, there is no in-between.

2. You can never find jewellery that fits

Especially rings and bracelets. The moment you find one that fits, you wear it forever.

3. You look cute when you flip people off

Whether it’s you giving them the middle finger or saying waka your small hands won’t allow you to be great, people always end up laughing.

4. You cant open large jars

Small hands are limiting like that, The amount of breakdowns people with small hands have after trying to open a jar is just sad.

5. Shaking people is an awkward experience

Their hands always swallow yours and they squeeze too hard and most times your entire palm can only hold two or three of their fingers.

6. Your phone falls a lot

You dare not hold your phone with anything else in your hands because it will fall, your friends are always laughing about the number of times your phone falls on your face in a day.

7. Keyboards are your enemy

Typing is a tedious experience for you, especially if the keyboard is wide. Tying fast must sound like a myth to you. Sorry, the world is cruel.

8. You can’t carry anything

Especially that big popcorn they sell in the cinema. How many times has it fallen from your hands? Society has been mean to you for way too long.
