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.
I’m just going to pretend you said “Qakers take their hat off for no man”
Death by technicality, a classic blunder.
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.
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)?
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.
I agree this whole scene really needs to be unpacked.
I feel like that’s more in sitting on a couch wearing a backpack territory
But why does it bother him? Im curious and confused.
I don’t know. He is just really stupid.
I mean, yea, I’d probably have put my backpack down when I entered their home.
Not unless you have a special backpack to wear specifically for talking to people
Chatpacking is not okay
Idk why I read backpack as jetpack
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.
Can you please turn your jetpack down? I can’t hear shit
Imaging caring what other people are doing so much you need to argue with someone about this. What a sad way to live
Sorry I can’t hear you, I’m wearing a backpack.
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
I was just glad to see it wasn’t a political meme.
Eh, still capitalism fault
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
What is this garbage?
Reddit garbage, send it back
Old person? Some seem to have a grudge against backpacks.
People actually think that?
Reminds me of those “why are you as an (x) doing (y)” “memes”
You’re going to have to explain this one to me, because I assume this happens among K-12 children all the time.
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
You know who else says that? ISIS, that’s right!
Surprised people are taking your comment seriously
Me everytime I write a comment.
No, it doesn’t sound like that at all.
