Your head is smaller than your finger.

Midgets are small all over.  They have the same dimensions as 'normal' folk, proportionally.  Dwarfs may have small hands but 'normal' feet... or something like that.

According to the Little People of America the human definition of dwarfism is "a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" (147 cm) or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that."

GuinnessWorldRecords.com says that the world record for the smallest waist is 15 inches for a full grown female.  It says that her waist is about the size of a mayonaise jar because she has worn a corset every day for the past 12 years.\n\nCheck this link out:\nhttp://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/index.asp?id=54595

5 1/2 to 6 inches is average.  Don't know the biggest or smallest.  Race does make a difference.  Just line a few guys up of different races and see for yourself.

Midgets are well proportioned dwarves. They are under 50 inches in height.

Different people have different ideas of 'personal space'.  If you grew up in a crowded area, you would feel comfortable with less space than someone who had not, and so might not realize that your proximity was making someone else uncomfortable.  If the other person in the line does not seem aware of the proximity, it might be because it doesn't bother them; you can try politely asking for a little more room, and they'll likely give it to you.  And maybe look at you weird, but meh, most people aren't cultural relativists.

I don't know if it is a few inches, probably not that much, maybe a few centimeters, but yes, this is true. Humans, or any creature for that matter, are rarely symetrical and our entire bodies are off by a hair. It is very rare to have any part of your body match up exactly with the other side (eyes, arms, fingers, toes, etc).
