QotD: An Embarrassing Hobby

What was the most embarrassing hobby you've ever had? 
Submitted by Billie Fable.

Why would I do something that I was embarrassed of.  Embarrassmnet would also indicate that I care what other people think.  I don't.

I would only do hobbies that I enjoy.  If I am having fun, then who cares what other people think.  If they are so close minded as to not garner enjoyment from an activity because they see it as beneath them, then that is their loss. 

I try to grow Bonsai- it is very relaxing and my only embarrassment would be that I suck at it.

I enjoy scifi books/movies-  I can laugh at the cheesiness of the cheesy ones and revel in the imaginativeness of the good ones. 

I collect comic books-  My reading comprehension and vocobulary grew imensly due to this.  Technically I don't really add to the collection any more but I still have the collection, does that make me an inactive collector.

I play VS System TCG (trading card game)-  It is a TCG based on the heroes and villians of the Marvel and DC universes.  I play everyday at lunch with a couple of co workers.  I try to go to local tournaments and compete.  it is very fun and requires a lot of strategy.

cares what other people think. Well, exactly. Good for you. I heartily agree, and I think this is about how I answered the last time we were asked a question like this.

Your absolutely right -- if its your hobby and you enjoy, why should you care what others might think about it?
