Polite Sitting

  • People have different ways of sitting depending on the situation. 
  • When sitting on a chair, one is not allowed to raise both legs or one leg onto the chair. Raising one's legs above the table is also strictly forbidden. 
  • When sitting on a chair, one is also not allowed to wiggle one's legs to the point of making the surrounding area vibrate or make noise. 
  • One is not allowed to open one's legs when sitting on a chair as it is considered rude. 
  • When sitting on the floor, one is allowed to sit cross-legged if wearing pants or cross-legged if wearing a skirt or dress. 
  • When sitting on the floor, one is not allowed to spread one's legs, especially to the point of blocking the access of others passing by.
