Teammate flamed me for picking up his gun skin… is this a thing?!

Context: I’m new to tactical FPS games, and this was in Bronze.

I don’t own any skins, so I’m always grabbing skins at the end of rounds. This was early in the match and apparently, I grabbed my teammate’s skin after a round win. He immediately voiced his displeasure the next round, and refused to let it go.

I honestly thought he was joking at first, but he was dead serious. To make matters worse, I survived for a few rounds after and was using his gun the whole time. I had to mute him after a while, but nobody on our team said anything while he was bitching at me.

Is there some unspoken “skin etiquette” I breached? I assume the dude is just insane, but sometimes video game communities have weird rules that aren’t obvious to newcomers.
