Thats why my raising standards increase when there is a short stack in front of me.

Agreed, I am much more reluctant to push any two when there is a very short stack immediately to my left unless I am getting to be desperate as well. No sense losing future FE when the short guy calls your J2o push and he's barely got the BB covered.
