A woman shared the hilarious reason she and her best friend can't take standing photos together, leaving internet viewers in stitches.
The woman, who goes by the social-media handle @bcdxdcb, posted a TikTok video showing the pair standing side by side. One friend is significantly taller than the other, a detail that has since garnered more than 622,000 views and over 37,500 likes on the platform.
"You're besties who can only get seated pics together," she wrote in text overlaying the footage. The clip pans from their feet upward, capturing their full bodies before finally revealing their stark height difference.

The shorter woman stands on the right, her head resting below the taller woman's shoulder. Both friends find the contrast utterly hilarious. Newsweek reached out to @bcdxdcb for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case.
The reference to The Borrowers draws on the classic children's book by Mary Norton, which was later adapted into a movie, where tiny people live secretly in human homes, adapting everyday items for their miniature lives.
In a follow-up comment, the taller friend said that she is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, though she looks closer to 8 feet in comparison to her bestie, who is just 5 feet tall.
Their video prompted viewers to chime in with their own height-related struggles.
"Being tall is not easy, and most of my friends are so short," commented one user.
"We'd actually have to stop being mates, cause I CANT HEAR YA DOWN THERE LOVE," wrote another viewer.
"I'm 6 foot and most of my friends are 5'3 to 5'5 I feel this," posted Sophie Byrnes.
Another user added, "The camera just kept going up," referring to the seemingly endless height disparity revealed as the video pans upward.
For friends with height differences looking to take photos together, there are creative ways to bridge the gap. Experts recommend options such as piggyback poses, seated portraits, or tight close-ups to focus on the faces rather than the full-body comparison.
