I played a hand last week where I had a passive/weak opponent fire the turn and then ship the river on me. I had nothing but second pair but I can generally recognize when a bad player is doing bad things. I took a minute to think about it and ended up correctly calling the all in. (opponent had QJ and turned a straight draw). 
Anyhow, I was first to act and I check called the shove. When I called, I looked at my opponent but he didn't flip his cards over. He was waiting for me. After 20 seconds some idiot at the table who I had just successfully 3barreled with 6 high berated me about how I'm supposed to show first.
I was under the impression that the party that makes a larger bet shows first, regardless of position, while the calling party has the option of mucking if they are beat. I have understood this as I have seen it in countless tournaments on youtube. 
So was I supposed to show first because I was first to act or was he supposed to show his terrible play first because he initiated the betting on the river and I only called?
