Because tables are made for glasses, and not arses.
(Or so my Aunty Adele used to say.)

I think it is inappropriate to sit on tables for the same reason you wouldn't want to eat off a chair.

i sit on tables all the time, especially as a teacher. It's weird telling other people off for sitting on them. I think of major reason is the safety, and it's also generally a place that is used to either working or eating, either of which doesn't really help your clothes.

Tables were not made to sit on or they would be called chairs.

Tables were not made for sitting on; that's why they invented chairs!

its not, try jumping on opposite ends of a table with a friend , place your ankles behind your ears and shoot the ping pong ball to one another. It's fun for the whole family

Sometimes people eat at tables. I know I don't want someone's butt where I am going to put my food.
