It can be bad. It does interfere with the circulation in the legs. Also, it can put unnecessary pressure on the nerves in that area of the legs. I have crossed my legs for years, right over the left. I have spider veins on my lower left leg now, not on my right though.

It can cut off circulation to the lower leg, and that's not good. If you get a tingling or pins and needles sensation in your leg or a "dead leg" then thats a sign that you've cut off the circulation.

supposedly it's not that great to cross your legs, for health reasons, like you've probably heard; if you do, it's better to cross them European style (that is high and tight), rather than U.S. style, that is loose and with a big space between your legs--and contrary to what another answerer said, it is not "fairyish" to cross your legs, including guys. jeez.
