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?
Both straps
Can you try it with one strap and report back?
More clarification needed. Was the backpack on your back or were you wearing it reverse (on your chest)?
My back duh.
This is a very important question I didn't realise needed to be asked.
Is this a first time occurrence? Has there ever been any other indication of your dad's discomfort around people wearing backpacks? There might be some history here that you're not aware of. Some past bad experience he had. A kind of PTSD.
