Very often, items like dance poles and pose balls work by utilizing a "sit hack". They're scripted to replace the standard sit animation with a custom one, so when you click "Sit", it makes you appear to dance or lie down or what have you. So when you see that little chair icon it doesn't necessarily mean you'll actually sit if you click. You'll simply execute whatever animation has been substituted for sit.

i understand that, i have been playing secondlife since 05, i must not be making myself clear as to what i am trying to say, even if i right click on another person in game it shows the little chair icon and makes me try to sit on them, that is not normal, even walls that i click on does the same thing

Hmm, that is weird. Sorry I didn't understand you the first time around. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the viewer? That's about all I can think of.

Not in a long while. I used to get that in laggy areas, but nothing quite as persistent as what you describe. What viewer are you using, the regular release one? Does it get better with the RC? They rewrote all the object picking stuff for 1.22, so you might want to see if it goes away there, before you spend too much time trying to unravel the problem.
