anytime anyone wants to use that frog-in-gradually-boiling-water sheeple cliche they should just refer to this habit instead, it is infinitely more relatable and thus scarier

I always sit like this so I can read on the train platform. Don't care if anyone thinks I look dumb.

If you were kneeling, couldn't you then just sit down so that your but was resting on your calves? That's basically what she's doing.
the positioning of her feet is what's throwing me off.
I am trying to sit on my calves and I keep falling over

also my knees hate me now
I do this all the time on the sofa. And I have terrible circulation, so I get super-plus double-bad pins and needles death.

Often, I'll snooze in such a way that my legs both fall asleep. I won't know that until I try to stand up and I find myself on the floor, face down.

once I woke up to someone slapping me repeatedly in the face. it was my own hand.
my arm had gotten wrapped behind my head which cut the circulation off so completely my hand had gone totally numb and started thrashing around. was prolly about to go necrotic.

and yet you still sit on yr legs :)
One worse than the other but I know both were pretty messed up. She just toppled over and landed on top of herself.

I can't stop!
Do you guys also do the hopeless limp-running around the sofa to try to wake your sleeping leg up? IT HURTS, BUT IT'S THE ONLY WAY.

E, your story is horrifying. I've blacked out from standing up too quickly (especially at the gym after working out), but I've always had a few seconds of 'ooh, I'm going to fall' before actually falling.

and then hobble around the house groaning like someone's just slashed my achilles tendon
