+38 People over 6ft are very lucky they made the average door taller than the average human, amirite?

people over 6 feet tall are the ones who designed the doorways.

If humans designed everything for the "average" then ~50% of humans (assuming a normal distribution) would be screwed. It would be silly not to, at minimum, select at least 1 standard deviation from the average.

Yeah. I took an industrial design class in college. There are so many things designers have to consider that many people wouldn't consider if they didn't think too hard about it. Ergonomics usually takes precedence otherwise people will be displeased and not buy your product. (Like designing a chair). Aesthetics have been huge for designers since early times.

This is true but I also think that part of why the doorways are tall is to account for furniture getting moved in or out.

Samezeez. I feel all couped up, even though there's two whole extra doors back there.

It's too bad about aeroplanes and beds though.

Don't go into a Tudor house in the UK, if you are 6'

6ft is just about average in The Netherlands, it wouldn't make sense to make doors even smaller.

As a 6'2" person with a 6' shed door who hit their head about 7 times yesterday, I very much appreciate that it's not the norm.
