Intergalactic Star Wars Day May 4th has become commonly known as Star Wars Day. And who could be surprised? The words, May the 4th seem to beg the rest of the catchphrase be uttered. Regardless of whether you prefer Star Wars or Star Trek, or if are even a sci-fi aficionado at all, the influence of George Lucas Star Wars on pop culture is undeniable. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/star-wars-day/
International Firefighters Day celebrates the dedication, heroism and importance of firefighters from all over the world. Many firefighters are volunteers, and many lose their lives in the course of duty. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/firefighters-day/
Petite and Proud Day For all people under 54?, you have a day where you can be petite and proud! Are you tired of people making derogatory comments about your size, such as: half pint, vertically challenged or titch? Petite And Proud Day is all about celebrating our lack of height and the advantages it brings. For example, we can squeeze into small spaces, we dont bang our heads on low ceilings and we can fit in childrens clothing, which saves us money! Apparently short people live longer than their lankier counterparts, which is definitely worth celebrating. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/petite-and-proud-day/

I bet there are some other perks that you could share.
Just thought of another one--the small sizes always seem to be available at the clearance table.

no having to raise the front load washing machine. I walk under tree branches all the time when others have to duck. I never have to move the shower head.
But people do break in line in front of me and I can't reach anything in the kitchen.
