Why do you think standing up is uncomfortable? I'm asking cause I'm at the hospital waiting for someone and they told me I can sit down in the waiting area. They didn't see to understand I am perfectly fine waiting while standing up. As soon as I obliged I read your comment. Now I'm curious.

I don't know, it's where "stand-up meeting" comes from though. At the minimum, as the manager you'd probably feel uncomfortable that you're forcing everybody to stand up, which might be the key point.
