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

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

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

I mean, yea, I’d probably have put my backpack down when I entered their home.

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.

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

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

Vests, suicide bombers use vests.

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.

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?

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)

When I one bag travel I just use a hiking backpack. It’s the most ergonomic
