Any unusual hobbies?

beejee · 13-01-2020 10:58PM #1

I'm sure there's all types of weirdos on here, and I bet their pastimes are even weirder.

Nothing outlandish for me really, but I do like to measure the width of pigeons chests when the opportunity presents itself. I carry a little ruler on me at all times, and it's especially lovely to measure their chests when sleeping. I keep a daily record for nostalgia sake, scratched into a corner of carpet in the shed.

Anyone else into this?

Any other unusual hobbies?

Completely sure he made that up on the spot and had to carry the lie out to its bitter end.

I agree. It's some amount of bs though. I don't know anyone that can lie like that.

UK politicians are weird.

Apparently that was carefully planned, so when you Google 'boris bus' this is what comes up and not the bus he had spouting lies about NHS funding during the Brexit referendum

I'll stick with playing toy soldier while shooting plastic bullets at friends

I love the description of creeping in while pigeons sleep and measuring them with a ruler!!It will stay with me forever : )

I like to take pictures of good graffiti.

There is a (very ANGRY) woman on the beach who walks her BAG OF CATS , with one out front on a lead tippie toeing around the wet patches, and another often draped around her neck like a scarf. She carries the rest in a duffel-type bag. I think she is angry spanish. She has an extremely long blind cane complete with ball at its tip and uses it to slash at anyone who comes within 10 ft of her. She walks often.I assume it is her hobby!

That's not the craziest idea I have ever heard. If it is the case it's nearly genius. Though, It doesn't make the video itself any less mortifying!

Love Netflix as much as the next person but still love to collect my favourite movies and series on Blu-Ray. Maybe not unusual but definitely more niche nowadays.

The “conspiracy” theory behind it was that he was trying to affect the google results page when searching for his “Brexit” bus lie.

Oh yeah I remember reading that.
Not really a conspiracy, and strikes me as true.

His hobbies are going to exclusive member only clubs in London where he meets other old Etonians and drinks like a fish. He’s also partial to riding women. He’s not the sort of dude who comes in from work and plays computer games for 6 hours.

Any unusual hobbies?
