I feel like there is context missing here. The situation is just way too specific...
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?
More clarification needed. Was the backpack on your back or were you wearing it reverse (on your chest)?
Ok maybe now he's on to something. Did you just like get home and start pacing around with your backpack on? At that point why would you still have your backpack on lol
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.
The difference is that honkwiching is a respected and respectful mode of self-expression
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've talked to plenty of professionals on the job while they wear their backpack lol. That never even occurs to me.
Only fellow wonks and maybe a whole bunch of other people who listened to whatever this guy was on but...

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.
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."
