Hola, " tener culo de mal asiento" aunque coloquial, se usa bastante, quiere decir que alguien, no asienta la cabeza, o que no puede estar quieto en un sitio. Sabe alguien la traduccion para ambos significados?

sounds like a person "who can't sit still".

Here are some equivalents:

"To not be able to sit still"
"To not be able to stand still"
"To have ants in one's pants"
"To fuss and fidget"

Yes, it's a bit coarse, but very common in Spain.

Las almorranas (o las hemorroides) se dice hemorrhoids en inglés. We also say 'piles'.

This medical condition is painful (itchy, at least), and can certainly be a good reason to squirm in your seat.
