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
More clarification needed. Was the backpack on your back or were you wearing it reverse (on your chest)?
Can you try it with one strap and report back?
I agree this whole scene really needs to be unpacked.
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.
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.
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
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?
How are you in every comment thread? You’re like the Gallowboob of Lemmy.
You’re like the Gallowboob of Lemmy
Excuse me? I never! I don’t repost my comments! 😤
nah, people wear big backpacks in the city
You skipped over some things that guy mentioned there I reckon.
Why would I need to take the pack off before my destination? Carrying a backpack is easy, unless you are disabled (not disparaging the disabled)
Not really, people talk in elevators, even in new york.
When I one bag travel I just use a hiking backpack. It’s the most ergonomic
Chatpacking is not okay
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
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
Yeah srgrafo is funny, but this one in particular was a miss.
Old person? Some seem to have a grudge against backpacks.
Idk why I read backpack as jetpack
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.
Sometimes you wonder if they’re just acting stupid or are really that stupid.
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
Because suicide bombers wear them only once?
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.
Vests, suicide bombers use vests.
Only with raw denim and a expensive egyptian cotton shirt
Where do they even get these? Ali Express? I would imagine backpacks are more accessible but seemingly there’s a market for suicide vests.
You just need a tac harness. Or tac vest. And the quality isn’t really an issue as they are a one use thing.
And those vests are all over. You could probably pick one up at a shop (or shops depending on your city).
You need to supply the bombs though.
If I can’t get a Gucci suicide vest I’m not doing it
I read your question and thought “yeah those exist, and know I have to see one”, enjoy.
I’m so delighted that a mindless shitpost can make people brainstorm a terrorist attack.
I like your engagement.
