sits on it
Parks oneself there
Sits on it means to delay action on something, especially when decision or response is expected.
Someone who sits on a proposal, application, or piece of information holds it without acting: The committee has been sitting on our request for months.
The phrase suggests unhelpful inaction, whether from indecision, neglect, or deliberate stalling.
