I was just getting out all of the things I need to make dinner with, and it seems that when Dave was cleaning up last night, he put the salt and pepper on a shelf way up high where I can't reach them. I suppose I shouldn't complain because he does clean up, but unless I want to risk climbing up to get it, dinner is not going to be ready when he gets home.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sing it sistah! I was lying on my bed chatting with a GF the other day and she asked how in the world fingerprints ever got on the wall way above the tall dresser where I couldn't reach unless I stood on a chair. I gave her the "have you met DH?" look and told her that I sure wasn't going to climb up to clean it.
He's forever putting things above my line of sight or reach.

ok, I'm off to Publix to see if I can be inspired for dinner choices.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have kitchen cupboards whose doors are a hazard to my head if I leave them open--but Kat or lori or Allyson would be perfectly safe wandering under them. However, they'd pretty much starve to death (or go crazy from caffeine deprivation) since I don't think they could reach anything not at the front of the lowest shelf.
I need a very tall boyfriend, obviously, since I've put stuff where I can't get it back down.

This statement doesn't even parse in my 2-stepstools, plus a long-handled grabby thing in the kitchen world.
Not that I would object in any way to a tall boyfriend, mind you.

Long-handled grabby thing is a recipe for knockover disaster for me. I do have a stepstool, but I don't like how it looks, and hide it far away.

I don't have much choice. I'm barely 5'3" (5'2 1/2" if you believe my GP's nurse. I don't choose to), and I'm the tall one in my household.
Your plan has a tremendous amount of potential, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have one that's fairly ugly, but it folds up and fits in between my fridge and the wall. I use it with frequency.
Epic, I'm 5'3", too. We buy our underwear in the same place and are the same height. We are TWINS!!
eta: AND! I am the tall one in my household too!!! Of course, the only other one in my household is a cat, but still, I'm WAY taller than him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have a stepladder in the kitchen, since the BF (aka "Tally McHeightypants") puts everything very very high. Since he does 95% of the cooking, however, I don't mind that I can't reach half our stuff without climbing.
