My Hobby:

[tastelikecoke]

well, it's a true hobby.

[thierry474]

My hobby: Mocking a person with an iPhone's iPhone as flawed technology.

[Badion]

My hobby: Cutting my grass 1/6 of an inch shorter than my neighbors so that they have to cut theirs again.


Love my HOA rules.

My hobby: Annoying people by correcting their choice of words, such as when someone asks if "they can" do something, I always reply, "I don't know can you?"

My hobby: Using alternate definitions of words to confuse people. Example: When on a plane and they say we'll be landing momentarily, I call up a attendant and ask them how they plan to get everyone off the plane, because if the pilot stops momentarily I don't think everyone will have enough time to get off of it.

My hobby: Making up why a relative's computer isn't working, then seeing how long I can continue the conversation. Example: "Yeah if your internet is going slow, you probably need to buy an ignition key." "What's that?" "About 300 dollars" "Where do I get one?" "I don't know where to get one around here, you'll have to ask around?" "Can't you get me one?" "Sorry you can only have one ignition key at a time. They check that stuff." To tell the truth though, I do this all the time if the person seems gullible enough.

My hobby: Purposely making up things to see if one of my friends has "heard of that". Then watching him backpedal after I tell him I made it up. "I thought I'd seen something like that somewhere..."

My hobby: Pretending I'm quoting movies, TV shows, etc. when really I'm just babbling. Then when I get weird looks just saying, "oh come on, I can't be the only one that remembers that line!"

My hobby: Saying certain phrases over and over, such as "...and I'm here to tell you..." to see if those I'm talking to start using them.

My hobby: Randomly inserting little-known (i.e. completely made up) facts about things and seeing if anyone calls me on it. Because I'm generally the smartest person in the room, no one does.

I could go on and on...

Trying to get friends to remember things that didn't happen. When someone asks me if I know where such and such building is, be like "no it's closed, owners died". Someone says "nice weather today, huh?" saying something like, "you're welcome" and strolling off. When walking into a store if someone says "Can I help you find anything?" replying "No, but can I help you find Jesus?" Acting as if I'm telling a joke, and leading up to the punchline only to end the story in a normal way, and watching the look of disappointment on their faces. Pretending as if I'm mute or deaf when I don't want to engage in small talk with random people, and faking sign language at them. Switching accents/voices mid-conversation. Upon making contact with some people going "Not you again!" and running away. I add new ones all the time, and when I have kids, there will be even more to add as I think of ways to mess with them.

[Jorpho]

You really don't seem like a very nice person at all, sir.

[KontourIV]

My Hobby: categorizing numbers as "good" or "bad," or somewhere in between.
I use a complicated system of comparing the numbers based on square (or cubed, etc.) numbers, triangular (or pyramid, etc.) numbers, palindromes, the number 2 (I am obsessed with 2, 4, 16, and 256), and 42, 1337, etc.
Although normally I don't bother with numbers with more than 4 digits.

[mcmesher]

My hobby: making friends with random people on the train.

My Hobby: Wrapping xmas presents so that the edge of the wrapping paper continues the tessellated pattern perfectly. Strangly satisfying.

my hobby: posting strange welcome to new people on forums.

My hobby: Listening to weird music then randomly changing song in the middle when others are listening to it.

My hobby: referencing xkcd when I am bored.

My hobby: taking random quizzes when bored. I once got bored enough to take a "what animal are you?" quiz. I got Otter. I have taken a few similar ones as well and always got otter if it is available.

My hobby: saying the previous statement is true.

My Hobby: Whenever someone makes a "That's what she said" joke, I pretend not to get it just to put them in the awkward position of having to explain it.

That's cruel.

My other hobby: Joining some forums then going inactive for a while then suddenly remembering the site. I intend to stay active on this site though

[Krawl]

My Hobby: Swiveling in swivel chairs. Which, by the way, APPARENTLY annoys uptight old ladies. Who knew?
My Hobby: Drumming on random objects to the beat of the song I'm listening to. Which, by the way, [see above].
My Hobby: Saying punctuation out loud instead of expressing it.
My Hobby: Using old and out-dated jokes, for the mere fact that they are old and out of date, therefore funny again.
My Hobby: Step 1: Warn people I'm a ninja. Step 2: See the person in a public place and approach them. Step 3: Say hi.
Step 4: Epic-dodge their flailing arms as they jump in terror and swear at me. Step 5: Apologize, and remind them that they were warned.
My Hobby: Being a ninja.
My Hobby: Correcting people's spelling and grammar mistakes. Especially when they are doing it on purpose, because they are fucking lazy.
My Hobby: Being racist to my close friends that I'm allowed to be racist to, but not to other people.
My Hobby: Not cutting my nails very often, because they are oh so pretty. (The ladies get jealous.)
My Hobby: Reminding young women how absolutely ridiculous they look when they dress that way.
My Hobby: All those "Your mom is-", "Your face is-", "No, you are-", "-in the pants.", "-in bed.", "Your grandmother is-", "That's what she said.", and even "That's what he said." lines.
My Hobby: Telling people how sexy their little sisters are.
My Hobby: Wearing excessive amounts of random dangling accessories, that aren't necessarily supposed to be dangling accessories.
My Hobby: Arguing with people about things of which I know nothing about, just to watch them get frustrated at how often I'm right.
My Hobby: Winning arguments on subjects I know nothing about using solely common sense.
My Hobby: Taking random numbers/number groups and breaking them down into smaller pieces, making very confusing equations out of them, and then turning to whoever is closest, pointing at the number, and telling them my ridiculous equation which was derived from the number.
Example: 15538 102st = 1*5=5+3=8-10=-2
And then looking very upset when they tilt their head and give me a funny look.
My Hobby: Randomly changing my accent throughout the day to whichever one I feel like using. Apparently this bothers 100% of my friends to the point they pretend they don't know me. Why? It's not like any of these random strangers knows what I really sound like! Who cares if I talk to the guy at Taco Bell using a Scottish accent?
My Hobby: Using expressions from other languages instead of English expressions. (This is not a hobby, I cannot help this.) Sometimes I change language completely during conversation, even though the only language I'm fluent in is English. I can end up using 3 different languages in one statement. It's not normal, I don't think. I just retain all these expressions, and words from other languages and they sneak into my speech patterns.
Some languages I accidentally use: Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, French, German, Chinese.
My Hobby: Also, I sometimes use internet speech instead of English. Or worse, refer to internet memes nobody is familiar with. (Which is easy for me, because I lost access to the internets for about 2 years, so I have no idea what's going on anymore.)
My Hobby: Referring to outdated memes.
My Hobby: Not shutting the hell up once I get on a roll.
My Hobby: Finding and absorbing as much trivia as my brain possibly can.
My Hobby: Same scenario, but with quotations, instead of trivia.

I'm just going to stop myself..

My Ex-Hobby: Reading for ages then falling asleep and when someone goes to turn the light off spring awake by some unnatural sense and say "no don't turn it off I'm still reading" before finishing the page and going to sleep.

I'm actually serious I used to do this every night maybe 8 or less years ago. My dad was always the person to try to turn the light off.

[hug0]

My hobby: Answering questions like "Do you want an ice cream or some cake?" by "yes" (and telling the confused people that I want some cake, so I want "ice cream OR cake", therefore my answer is valid.)

[SchighSchagh]

My hobby: Collecting random pieces of junk I find (rusty nails, bottle caps, any litter that isn't overly disgusting) and putting it in a shoebox that is buried in my closet, with the idea that somebody will find it some day and think that this stuff has some emotional significance to me.

That stuff clearly DOES have some emotional significance to you: it's your hobby!

[astrekmaster]

My Hobby: Swiveling ergonomic computer monitors upside down.
