The unpopular, but interesting personal hobbies thread

I really like finding new situations that a problem exists in such a way that the solution can't be implemented to fix it. It's a odd hobby but i do enjoy it immensely. Finding contradicting behavior in things.

eg:

People who crave power are the least desirable to have it. People who don't want power are probably our best leaders.

Addicts who can't give up their fix because they still believe it will make them happy.

Roles that exist in companies simply because of the inefficiencies in the company, often these roles exist to solve these inefficiencies yet require them to remain in order to persist in their own roles.
eg: Security Roles, although needed, often make a fuss to ensure thier continued spotlight. The company does this to save them, yet the ever growing cost eventually destroys the value of the department.

Micro management in DIY stores causing massive employee turn over. The very management claiming to want the store to succeed.

Feminist group thinking (not all of course) which replicate the very gender hating dysfunction as retaliation whilst claiming trying to resolve it. Trying to get others to change to meet their needs, all the while never concluding that it's using people as objects to meet their needs by trying to coerce certain behavior. The hate I've seen in these groups shocked me. Although i know they are just trying to be well and help their lot the best they can.

Emotional insecurities are a wonderful example. Over active defense mechanisms designed to protect the person yet end up reducing their quality of life.

Political groups becoming the same dynamic of their opposing party. Ying/Yang but all the same.

I swim in cold water and refuse to wear a wetsuit.

Refuse as in "prefer not to", or as in "scream and run away boll!x naked when anyone asks me to cover myself up"

Marijuana plant?

It's probably not. People are always asking me that because I have a greenhouse and I'm young. If my eyes roll anymore...

I write poetry too and have been published a lot. I like football also and I'm female so get the odd comment about that.

I'm always fascinated by people who have peculiar, but somewhat uncool hobbies.
To look at me, you would think I'm a bit of a geezer. Maybe even a bit flash. But I have a deep secret, one I don't even tell my friends about.

So here it is: I love visiting antiques shops and flea markets. To the point where I've passed up free festival tickets, football matches and nights out with the lads because I want to spend the day rummaging in the shops in search of buried treasure.
I've also been known to build some spectacular airfix models, but chicks generally don't dig that. But you could hardly expect your average lass to appreciate the craftsmanship of a Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress ball turret I suppose.

What's your secret hobby or insanely OCD collection habit? This is a non-judgmental thread, people. Let it out.

I'm strangely attracted to you right now.

I went through a phase a couple of years ago of crocheting - everyone I know that had a baby got a blanket. I'm probably one of the last people you'd think would sit at home doing that; it was very relaxing though!

I also love playing stupid games online like Realm of Empires, Hearthstone, and my biggest shame is The Sims on the PC

Gonna have to agree with the search for "treasure" with antiques and the like, fascinates me to find some hidden gem at a car-boot sale and "rescue" it (for maximum profit)!

Also, having a day off with nothing better to do, and going on after hours for a good oul argument :P
