I feel like there is context missing here. The situation is just way too specific…
I just came back home and went to go say hi to my dad
So like taking off a hat indoors kind of expectation for him?
Quakers don’t take their hats off for anyone.
You’re not wrong. My nan died the other day, fucking guy didn’t even take of his cap as they carried her through the kitchen to the backdoor. The box of Zatteran’s at least bowed its head.
Little Debbie was grinning something awful though.
But why does it bother him? Im curious and confused.
I don’t know. He is just really stupid.
I need more details. Let’s get to the bottom of this. How long had it been been since you arrived home? Were you standing or sitting down? Holding any drinks? How heavy is your backpack?
Yeah I feel like we’re getting somewhere now. At first I was on OP’s side, but now I’m imagining them like sitting on the sofa drinking a Diet Dr Pepper while watching Judge Judy reruns and half carrying on a conversation with their dad while wearing their backpack. Then after Judge Judy renders her verdict, dad is suddenly like “why are you wearing a backpack?” Then OP gets defensive and weird, and finally we find ourselves at the situation in the meme.
That would be pretty weird if if I did that. But in case anyone is curious, It was a few minutes after I had just gotten home from college and went inside the house and then went over to my dad to say hi before going to my room. He immediately asked me why I had my backpack on and I told him that I had just gotten back from college. It was at that moment he told me that wearing a backpack while talking to someone was weird. My Mom later walked in and asked what we were yelling about and she then started laughing because of how stupid the conversation was. I was standing the entire time we were arguing.
Point of clarification: were you wearing your backpack with both straps on, one strap on your shoulder, or across your chest?
Both straps
Can you try it with one strap and report back?
More clarification needed. Was the backpack on your back or were you wearing it reverse (on your chest)?
Not unless you have a special backpack to wear specifically for talking to people
Imaging caring what other people are doing so much you need to argue with someone about this. What a sad way to live
Am i supposed to take my backpack off to speak to someone, only to replace it when the conversation ends? But… why???
You’re supposed to take the backpack off, casually slide it out from under your trenchcoat, and offer it to m’lady to sit on while you
hold her hostageconverse with her.
It is kinda weird if the backpack is a large camping bag and you’re both on an elevator going to the top floor of a highrise in NYC, and the conversation isn’t about why they have a hiking backpack on in the middle of the city.
Outside of that very specific situation, what else could be weird about it?
nah, people wear big backpacks in the city
You skipped over some things that guy mentioned there I reckon.
How are you in every comment thread? You’re like the Gallowboob of Lemmy.
People actually think that?
Chatpacking is not okay
Is this anything like honkwitching?
This sounds weird as fuck, why would such a debate even occur?
It’s almost as common as discussing computer operating systems in regular conversation
i use arch btw
Idk why I read backpack as jetpack
Reminds me of those “why are you as an (x) doing (y)” “memes”
I’m really not a fan of this meme format and I always downvote when I see it regardless of content. But I’ll make an exception this time, sorry to hear you actually got into an argument about this
Yeah srgrafo is funny, but this one in particular was a miss.
No, srgrafo has never made a funny comic.
You’re going to have to explain this one to me, because I assume this happens among K-12 children all the time.
Abusive parents,eh ? Yep, i know a thing or two about this bullshit. I’ve been beaten for the dumbest shit like breaking a glass or the remote , the computer changing it’s theme to the windows 98 one to conserve ressource when playing a game.
They are not abusive they are just stupid. Or at least my dad is.
That sounds like terrorist propaganda to get soldiers more comfortable with getting closer to suicide bombers.
People wear backpacks for a lot of reasons. Most people wear them much more frequently than suicide bombers
Suicide bombers may not wear backpack very often, but when they do, they wear it to the end of their lives
Because suicide bombers wear them only once?
You know who else says that? ISIS, that’s right!
