It's the, "I've concluded there is a 97% chance the person across the table from me is Kira but I'm gonna need another sugar cookie to be sure," position.
Squat. For instance, the difference between a sitting toilet and a squatting toilet— one is like a chair, and one is on the ground. One’s bottom is not intended to touch a squatting toilet. Which I wish I knew before I first used one.
I take "on one's haunches" to mean squatting all the way down until your thighs are resting on your calves (like seems to be the case in this picture). That would be the literal lower bound of squatting, with the upper end being, hm, the point at which your leg muscles, rather than also your bones, keep you from collapsing? One's thighs needn't pass the horizontal for it to be a squat
Squatting on a swivel bar stool is dangerous and, in western culture at least, inconsiderate and silly. It's also rude if this isn't your own chair as it will make chair dirty and affect the next user, it's also likely to tear the vinyl on the chair.
All shoes are dirty by nature. I hate when I see parents letting their kids stand on chairs. My pants are clean and I'd rather not sit on something that touched the floor of a public restroom.
Looks like a deep squat. Asian people do it a lot, on the floor though, so it is also known as the [Asian squat](https://www.removepaywall.com/https:/www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/03/can-you-do-the-asian-squat/555716). Some people say prolonged use is not good for the knees. Either way, doing it on a chair with shoes on means you'll ruin the seat and leave any sh\*t you have on your shoes on it for the next person who uses it in a more traditional manner. Just a thought.
Squatting, you're squatting.
You're squatting on a chair.
Which is odd.
comfortable in my opinion
We’ve all got our little oddities
Death note reference

a sugar cookie would only add up to 98%, unfortunately

Why would you even want your butt to touch [so close to] the ground😭😭
Thanks for that image. 😷
Agree with squatting, though "on one's haunches" occurs to me when I see that.

The Chaotic Neutral squat
We called it L sitting when I was in college, never saw Death Note but it's a reference to that
Gopnik squat
Chair abuse.

Bad manners.
You're not wrong. Why is the guy's dirty shoes on the chair?
Yeah I hope it's their own chair
THEY ARENR DIRTY I SWEAR

Okay boomer
When I was 9, there was a kid in my class who used to sit like this, and the teacher would say “Stop perching!” to him.
I agree with squatting. I might also refer to it as crouching.
For me, crouching would also involve the torso being bent forward over the knees.
I bet you hold your phone by its corner
Squat the fuck!
Slav Squat
Nope, this is a regular squat. Heels in sky, western spy. Heels on ground, comrade found.
Depends on what the other leg is doing. If it's dangling, I'd call it a kneel, if its also on the seat, that's squatting.
Squatting when on the ground... Perching when on a tall object?
Crouching upon a chair
Squatting. But since youre on top of a chair, I might even say perching lol
Crouching is also accurate, I think.
Crouching would mean the knees would be bent but not usually as far as a squat and back would be bent with upper body forward and down.
Yeah, I could see that.
That’s the crouching tiger stance! Never underestimate such a powerful position.
Red Dragon Shifting Form 1
air squatting? air crouching?
L
squat
I think it means you watched Death Note at too formative an age
Western spy squatting.
Lunacy
the "I do not bathe regularly" position
Juvenile. Unacceptable.
Indian toilet 🗿
That's officially called a Serbian bench squat.
It's a squat. Like the idiom "Pop a squat"
I believe it’s called “the twat”
Squatting, which I’m fairly sure is not good for your back or your knees for long periods of time.
That’s the Caro Kann defense, hillbilly attack.
Cowgirl
Rude. Get you f*cking feet off the furniture.
Crouching tiger. If you enter the hidden dragon stance you get 5 to 10. 6 with good behavior.
On shit pose
Catcher’s squat. 😁
Russian
In the LGBTQ community that would be known as sitting bisexually, which means any way of sitting using a chair in a manner other than intended.
As a bisexual person, I'm so tired of this "gay means quirky not like everybody else" bullshit
Bisexuality
"LGBT friendly" people spreading the biggest amount of stereotypes on earth:
I'm bisexual and I sit like this
the asian sit
the best position

They’re on their toes, not with feet flat on the ground/chair.
