It's highly unlikely that OP is the only one who cares. Lots of people she meets with would find this extremely unprofessional and distracting. If I were mentoring this person, I would tell her she ought to stop.

OP, what does the boss think?


OP here. I haven't brought it up to the boss, because I know it's really petty of me. Yes, yes. I know it's petty, but I still think she looks unprofessional. I think my boss has bigger fish to fry with this person's behavior, so how she sits in meetings is probably pretty low on her list of priorities.

So I get it. I'll MMOB about it. Can I still silently judge?




I'd like to hear more about the boss' bigger fish to fry with hippy lady's behavior. Tell us more.


Lemme guess. While you sit there with your fat, white, hairy gut spilling over your boxers? There are other sites for you. Goodbye.

Don’t you mean cross-legged, OP? Or do you have a 3yo and forgot the adult term?

Sit back and let her skewer herself and her career.


Just like men who do rude things such as : put their feet up on their desks, sit with their legs splayed, have antagonistic poses, scratch themselves, walk around the office in bare feet.

"Unprofessional," "let them skewer themselves and their career."

Please. Honestly, PLEASE. Get rid of them, as it IS unprofessional distracting and unprofessional. I 100% agree. I see it everyday, and I get you. Do it.

I am so sick of unprofessional MALE behavior in the office.

A female sitting politely with her leg tucked underneath her??! Are you KIDDING me? Pot, meet kettle. Begin with pot if you wish to see any change.


WTF kind of office do you work at? Is this higher education or Club Fed again? must be loony bins over there


There are. Loony bin MALES at my Tyspsn Corner law firm. So, as you can imagine, a female sitting the way OP has described? The least of anyone's "problems."

Op, if you are a female and you are nitpicking another female about this, shame on you.

Is this some sort of a term from somewhere else in the country? "Criss-cross applesauce?" Never heard this before.

As a previous PP did, I googled (because google is your friend) and I cannot believe a grown person would sit like this in a business meeting.

Perhaps she is a Yogi???

All of this is so odd.
