This thread is from Nightwatch by Terry Pratchett when two very up and coming prominent people are found to be in the vicinity of each other.
They have to be careful on what they talk about due to each of their family's history being violent towards each other.

To avoid a scene of bad manners (and therefore yet another war) they are forced to find something safe to talk about.
Standing or sitting is the subject they come up with.

So OT, in this very situation you find yourselves on this thread.
You have read it therefore you are trapped now within it to comment upon it.
To stand or to sit?
What is your preference at this party of the ruling classes?

Nobody wants to partake in polite and civilised conversation.

Everybody remember this is a nice evening no need to get in the way of a man and his drink.

I slouch against a door jamb, despite being completely sober.

I find a computer/console or something to entertain me out of the way of others...

I sit in a corner away from everyone else.

Stand and mingle.

Sitting seems to be a sign that you are less approachable and want to stick to your group or away from people.

Run security pass-bys then leave. Find out months later those who believed stronger for staying getting beaten up for fun was the next party. Stopped seeing them as parties. Quite sure stopped being worried and just find ways to navigate which includes sitting on chair arms and shifting lamps from one table to next while tapping out the cord for better lighting and prep for fighting.
