I agree. Folding your arms and also putting your hands in pockets are both considered defensive postures. haha yeah, I have experience that too :D
I don't like standing in the 'stand at ease' position. I usually have one hand over the other and listen intently.
Yep.
The 'stand at ease' does feel very formal doesn't it haha! One hand over the other is good; better than crossing them!
Yeah it does! Yeah that’s what most people do :)
