    I feel like there is context missing here. The situation is just way too specific…

        So like taking off a hat indoors kind of expectation for him?

        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?

              Is this a first time occurrence? Has there ever been any other indication of your dad’s discomfort around people wearing backpacks? There might be some history here that you’re not aware of. Some past bad experience he had. A kind of PTSD.

    Not unless you have a special backpack to wear specifically for talking to people

      Well in that case I’d have to agree that it is weird behaviour to wear your jetpack while talking to someone.

      Unless of course everyone is currently wearing a jetpack then sign me up.

    Imaging caring what other people are doing so much you need to argue with someone about this. What a sad way to live

    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

    That sounds like terrorist propaganda to get soldiers more comfortable with getting closer to suicide bombers.
