All this time, I've been doing it wrong
Had to attend some work-related training on Saturday. I knew it was going to be a very long day when the instructor read from the handouts:
How to safely sit down in a chair:
Look to make sure the chair is where you think it is.
Move the chair or your body until you feel the front edge of the chair seat with the back of your legs.
If the chair has arms, keep your back straight, bend at the knees, grasp chair arms and sit down.
If the chair is not equipped with arms, turn the upper part of your body slightly, grasp the top of the chair back and sit down as described above.
This was accompanied by a classroom full of people stealing glances at each other and mouthing the words, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
