    Hi ,
    Since you have mentioned phrase,will try to use phrases to describe them -
    A very tall person - - I'm really short ,and when anyone
    who's remotely tall stands next to me,I do feel that he is "Towering (over me) like a beanstalk!"
    2)A clumsy person - Butterfingers (like me)
    3) An absent-minded - pre-occupied,day dreamer(again like me),forgetful
