It's small things but they make life hard.
Pants are always too long; I have to shorten them before I can wear them. That's an easy one (but annoying).
I can't reach stuff on high supermarket shelves. I can't put my luggage into the rack above the seats when I travel by train without help. At home, I constantly use a step ladder. Chairs and tables give me back pain. The kitchen counter is too high. Train and plane seats are uncomfortable, and so are car seats.

And it's not a zero-sum game because things are equally uncomfortable for tall people. I really hope my current chair will last me a few years more.

@draco@sonomu.club yes to all this. i constantly need to have accomodations at work, or it's not a do-able job, all the furniture is the wrong size. at my last job i actually ended up making my own work table so i could have one that's at the right height. and PANTS, lord, don't get me started. every single pair that's the right size in the waist is about 6 inches too long in the leg. dammnnn
