Why do short people have short fuses?

Because they get tired of people picking on them because they are short. And it's harder to do things when you are short.

It is generally known for them to have a chip on their shoulder or something to prove, it is not that they have a short fuse it's that they are wired with a mind set of showing you up. That may appear why it seems they have a short fuse when they just want to prove you wrong.

That is just a generalization as you know which seems crass, and is just towards a partial amount of the people being refereed to.

I have been in arguments and fights with many of my shorter friends, and trust me, it's not that they have a short fuse at all, they are just more prepared to spark if you get what I'm going at. Their not especially angry, actually from my experience they can handle many types of anger with brute force as well as serene calmness

A person can be very peaceful or embittered towards always being bagged on for their appearance.

They either understand it completely or can't stand it and are embittered.

It is annoying to always be called out in normal situations for your physical difference, which can create a defensive mind set, which can seem strong forceful and like a short fuse.

Short people just don't like taking guff for being shorter.

When I played soccer, this guy was defensive when people said he could not do anything because of his height or would rag on him for it.

1. He was being defensive but was still calm and kept his head. If anything they don't have a short fuse and can keep a cool head in hectic situations.

2. He pulled off more and got down and dirty more then any player on the field and his anger only came out when he felt he was being cheated, like any normal person.

3. Some people are embittered about what they can't change because they want something else. I.e to be taller or for people to be more tolerant(joke instead of prodi/detest/scaf/)

4. It is not whether they are short or tall if they have a short fuse, it is whether that person is embittered, they probably have a very short fuse.
