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
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
Chatpacking is not okay
Is this anything like honkwitching?
Not too dissimilar form speechbagging
The difference is that honkwiching is a respected and respectful mode of self-expression
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.
Better go look for your local Mandolorian Covert. They always seem to be wearing jetpacks.
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
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.

Excuse me? I never! I don't repost my comments! 😤
Lemmys small enough that the same people pop up pretty often. I swear MargotRobbie is in every thread pretty much
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.
Yeah srgrafo is funny, but this one in particular was a miss.
Sorry I can't hear you, I'm wearing a backpack.
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
What is this garbage?
Reddit garbage, send it back
Old person? Some seem to have a grudge against backpacks.
Only fellow wonks and maybe a whole bunch of other people who listened to whatever this guy was on but...
(Might edit in music symbols) Lionel, Lionel Lionel Lionel, Lionel Lionel Li!
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.
So, my spouse comes home wearing a small cooler as well as a work bag, and sometimes more bags from groceries or projects aquired in the wild, makes a beeline for me and we kiss and talk; whenever they're all stockpiled I stress about their body under the weight. Your dad loves your spine, dude. Just say you're on your way to put it down, but wanted to give a brief greeting because you're so tired. I think you humans call this "just saying hi real quick, too tired to talk."
