Sits blow donkey balls... They are very high on my "most hated list" in this profession. I found them to be very fatiguing as well. The 9E guy in my post that you're probably referencing has a crew room to stow his stuff in.

If you're gonna sit and look like crap, take off your ID, wings and epaulets. Other pilots will be able to pick you out, but to pax you're just some dude with a weird shirt dragging a bunch of crap behind you. If you're going to keep the identifying items on, look as sharp as possible.
