Sitting

As a new player of Animal Crossing, one of the most surprising things you will witness is a villager sitting down. You get very used to seeing villagers fishing, walking around, and inside their houses. Sitting is one of the random things that villagers do not do too often. 

Building a bench as a town project near one of the villagers homes is one great to witness a villager sitting down. They could also end up falling asleep in a bench which is very amusing when playing the game. Benches are not very expensive projects in the game and do not take up too much space when compared to others. 

Another way to see a villager sitting down is by gifting them a sofa or selling one to them. While you cannot make them sit down they will every once in a while while appear sitting down when you go inside their homes. I think this is a great feature which makes the characters seem like real villagers in a town. Many times when you talk to a villager that is sitting down they will prompt you to take a seat next to them and relax. The fact that they do not always sit down makes it feel special when you do so.
