Can we talk more about sitting on laps?

I'm not usually a prude, but drunk at a party is not sitting well with me about having some chick sitting on your H's lap. Drunk or no, it's inappropriate. I can't be the only one that thinks this way, I hope. The last two laps I sat on belong to my last two sexual partners. I find it hard to believe so many would brush it off as a drunk thing.

Re: Can we talk more about sitting on laps?

  • No.  It's hideously inappropriate.  Not divorceworthy inappropriate, but yeah, he owed her an apology, not a "look how you ruined my weekend by getting upset by this inappropriate picture."

    What was with this past weekend?

  • There are only two women who are permitted to sit in my H's lap besides me.

    One has a cold, wet nose and likes to eat Kleenex and the other one talks incessantly and has trouble paying attention in school sometimes.

  • I agree. It's inappropriate.
    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • The times I remember guys trying to get me to sit on their laps, there have been sexual undercurrents.

    I agree it's inappropriate and I wouldn't sit on another guy's lap, drunk or not, just as I wouldn't be okay with a woman sitting on DH's lap. 

  • I think it's inappropriate behavior, but don't think it's divorce worthy. Although his behavior when she tried to talk to him about it was pretty divorce worthy IMO. I would not be okay with some other woman sitting in my DH/SO/FI's lap.
  • Unless someone pushed her onto his lap without warning him and then quickly snapped a picture, I don't think there's any excuse for that type of thing happening.

  • but in the other post he is a celeb. Its different, imo.

     

  • Yeah, that plus the saving-other-women's-FB-pictures-to-a-hidden-folder-is-no-big-deal response has me giving the Nikki WTF? face.

    Maybe I could overlook the lap thing if he was apologetic and could voice his understanding of why it was wrong, or could explain that she had been pushed into his lap for the purposes of taking a group photo, but turning it on me...that is no bueno.       

    This is my siggy.

    This wasn't some random fan who was after a picture.  This was a co-worker of his (I'm assuming someone who works for the organization).

  • I once went to a corporate holiday party that got way out of hand early.

    The pictures on the company bulletin board showed only part of the story.

    The photos started out pretty sedate: president posing witht his one and that one and shots of people at the buffet table and waving, etc...as the photos "progressed" you can see the shots getting raunchier and raunchier. One chick had her skirt pulled all the way up in one photo.

    And they posted the photos on the board. Yuk.
  • Totally and completely inappropriate.

  • Other than my H, the only person whose lap I've sat on in years was Santa at a family party. And he felt me up. And my sister too. At the same time.

    So yeah, lap sitting is not a thing I approve of.
