Perhaps, to put this in perspective for you, say, suppose (hypothetically) there was some person from a foreign culture, and it greatly offends anyone in that culture if you sit down at any time during the day except for when you sleep, which is only supposed to be at a certain exact hour. Now, suppose this person asks you to not sit down because it offends him/her. Also suppose you have a seat right handy and that you will have to be around in that area waiting around for a long long time (over eight hours), and you can't move one way or the other because it is so crowded. Now, would you honor that person's wishes and stand up the entire time, or would you consider that something ridiculous to request and sit down?

It is something ridiculous to request, as is to request praying people from not praying. It is that simple.
Very well said.
