Do you have to stand on a step stool to reach things?

I'm kinda short (5 ft tall) so there are things on the top shelves of my kitchen that I can't always reach. I have a small step stool that I use to climb on to reach things that are up high. What about you? Are you tall or short? Can you reach everything in your kitchen?

No, but my girlfriend does. except when I'm around. when I'm around, my job is to get things that are too high foir her to reach.

LOL, I ask my husband a lot of times to get things for me so I don't have to get on the step stool. Thanks for your reply

I can reach everything in the kitchen. I'm 5'6" so I can stretch the ole body for quite a distance. I get a little dizzy when looking up since I had a bad fall 6 years ago so I am better off staying on my feet and not climbing on anything.

Most of the time I can reach things but some things I can't. My kids pick on me sometimes because they're taller than me but I don't mind. LOL
