If you're the shortest in your family, you'll definitely understand Ryan Woods' frustration.
Play-off hopefuls Brentford and Sheffield United played out a 1-1 draw on Good Friday and the game most definitely was not without its fair share of drama.
United would have entered the play-off places with a victory and they likely felt that they were well on their way when Chris Basham opened the scoring ten minutes after half-time.
But parity was restored when the hosts' Chris Mepham found an equaliser after 68 minutes.
It was during the celebration of Mepham's goal, however, when both sides were reduced to ten men.
As most of the Brentford players ran to the corner flag to congratulate the defender, Ryan Woods' main concern was to get the ball out of the Sheffield United net.
But Blades goalkeeper Jamal Blackman was not interested in letting Woods rush back to the centre circle with the ball as he held it away from the midfielder.
Blackman utilised a classic move from the older boys in school by holding the ball above his head, safe in the knowledge that Woods would not be able to reach it.
But when both players palmed at each others' faces in an embarrassing exchange, referee Jeremy Simpson decided to send the pair of them off immediately.
There was no late winner for either side and the game will only be remembered for the bizarre clash that will surely remind plenty of readers of an older sibling holding the remote control out of their reach.
