10 Hobbies People Get WAY Too Carried Away With!
Hobbies are -- by definition -- something done for relaxation or pleasure. They're not supposed to be your religion or your reason for living! I used to build models as a kid -- cars, airplanes, battleships. You can still find them at Hobby Lobby and Adventures Underground, but it's not really a big thing anymore. For me, it was always just a hobby. Here are a list of hobbies people are taking way, way too far:
- 1
Watching your kids play sports
Don't tell the coach what to do. Don't demand your kid be treated like a star. Don't yell at the kids. Never yell at the ref/umpire.
- 2
Cat & Dog Shows
You have to be a member of the clubs to do well. It's got nothing to do with how close your pet is to the perfect breed standard.
- 3
Cub Scout leaders
For some reason people with a passion for Cub Scouts sometimes get a little too into the pine wood derbies, the camps, the pack meetings, etc.
- 4
Anime
You're an adult who likes to watch cartoons. That's cool. I like some cartoons, too. But it's not a religion.
- 5
League of Legends
If you're spending more than an hour or two each night, you might have a problem.
- 6
Intramural Sports
League softball or whatever is supposed to be social, guys. You're not going for your shot at the pros.
- 7
Pokemon
The number of hours it takes to get really good is just not worth it. Just play for fun, man!
- 8
Airsoft
You get that you're not really in some kind of special forces, right?
- 9
Magic the Gathering
You might as well just blow your inheritance playing blackjack, that game is so expensive.
- 10
Drinking and/or weed
This is NOT a hobby! This is a beverage or something to smoke! If hard drinking or getting wasted is your idea of a great time -- with friends or by yourself -- you need serious help.
