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

Quakers don’t take their hats off for anyone.

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

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 hostage converse with her.

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

The difference is that honkwiching is a respected and respectful mode of self-expression

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.
