Co-worker sits "criss-cross applesauce" in meetings

[Anonymous]

Is Lawry sitting criss cross applesauce again?

Well, that does it. If Cris Carter says it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate.

It's best for a higher up to tell her because that's who she will listen to.

Yes, what would a man do here?

He wouldn't notice how this woman was sitting.

He might see if he could any skin, and then shrug and go back to work or participate in the meeting. Which is what OP should do.

And since a higher up hasn't said anything it would seem they don't care and OP should get about the business of minding her business

This wouldn’t bother me one bit.

I used to work in a big open plan office with no cubicles and there were people with all kinds of annoying habits (clipping finger nails with a loud noise in the middle of a work day and drinking coffee with a super loud slurping noise to name just a few) - now that was annoying AF. I only wish my only problem was a cross legged coworker.

Right? OP has it good if this is her biggest source of irritation.

Don't a lot of women do this now that yoga and meditation are mainstream. I've seen it during meetings and no one says anything.

He won't be sitting indian style at the conference mtgs, that's what!

Right - he'd be sitting with his knees all the way spread out so that everyone else has to shrink into themselves so as not to touch him.

Yeah is this some North vs. South thing? My yoga instructor uses the cross cross applesauce phras and I had no idea what she was talking about at first! I always knew it as Indian style. Or maybe that’s not PC anymore?

I wish my job was so low-stress and devoid of complications that I had time to notice and care about how my colleagues sit at meetings.
