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

Am i supposed to take my backpack off to speak to someone, only to replace it when the conversation ends? But... why???

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

Chatpacking is not okay

Idk why I read backpack as jetpack

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?

I've talked to plenty of professionals on the job while they wear their backpack lol. That never even occurs to me.

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

This sounds weird as fuck, why would such a debate even occur?

Sorry I can't hear you, I'm wearing a backpack.

Old person? Some seem to have a grudge against backpacks.

What is this garbage?

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.

People actually think that?
