I’ll admit it—I have a petty streak. Most days, I keep it in check. But the moment I see a dating profile with those ridiculous “must be this tall to ride” height requirements, something inside me snaps. Maybe it’s because I spent most of my teen years on the shorter side, getting turned down before I even had a chance. Maybe it’s because I can’t stand shallow deal breakers. Whatever it is… Sandy from Tinder found out the hard way.

Let’s find out how other Redditors weigh in on this story.
The truth? I knew I was poking the bear. Part of me feels bad because, yeah, it was mean. But another part of me is still rolling my eyes at the idea of a 5’2″ woman insisting on a guy 5’10″ or taller. Maybe I was just defending short kings everywhere… or maybe I was taking out years of frustration on one random girl. Either way, the line between “petty clapback” and “straight-up cruelty” got blurry real fast—and I’m not sure which side I landed on.
