Have you ever met someone with a hobby so strange you thought, ‘no thanks’? Well, a recent internet survey asked, “what hobby is an immediate red flag?” and here are the top 18 answers.
Gambling
“It’s usually a very thin line between hobby and addiction.”
“$10 says I don’t have an addiction.”
“But it goes well with my other hobbies, like excessive drinking and smoking two packs of cigarettes daily, in Vegas.”
Collecting Beer Cans
“I had a buddy who called his “beer mountain.” He was lame.”
“Ours was 12×12 at the base before we crushed it for beer money.”
“What about just collecting the cool-shaped bottles or ones with nice label art? Making a nice little gallery of them. I’m only asking for a friend…”
Healing Gemstones
“I prefer gemstones that work when you throw them very, very hard. At your enemies.”
“My sister got into this during covid; she wanted to open her own studio and sell crystals. It’s a taboo subject between us because I think she’s nuts.”
“Stuff like that is a turn-off for me because it’s borderline insanity.”
Creating TikTok Videos
“The fake charity/charitable acts ones are the most cringe-worthy ever.”
“There’s something about the ‘I gave $500 to a homeless guy on Tiktok’ type of videos that just feels so disingenuous to me. If they were actually charitable, they wouldn’t film it.”
“White guy fools entire Chinese restaurant by speaking fluent mandarin!”
Collecting Teeth
“My wife has a box of teeth. Should I be concerned? They did belong to our children.”
“My teeth collection is very nice and very evil. I’m saving up for a blimp (long story).”
“I have a jar of puppy teeth from fosters; I think they’re adorable, but I can see why someone would think it’s weird.”
Crypto-currency
“The ones who think crypto will save the world; most ‘crypto-bros’ I’ve met were annoying, insufferable dudes.”
“I’ve got a friend who hounds to invest me whenever we talk. I’m like, stop; I don’t care.”
“He spent the entire time passionately expounding how crypto will change every aspect of the world for the better, stopping only to say that all women are prostitutes. Nice.”
Reddit Moderation
“I got permanently banned for literally no reason whatsoever. The losers running that sub needs to get an ego check. They just like the power!”
“The craziest one is about changing people’s minds, where the mods delete dissenting opinions. It’s like the whole point of the sub.”
Child Beauty Contests
“Those are raw degeneracy, egocentrism that leaves a psychotic time bomb inside the child’s mind.”
“Anyone who looks at their child and thinks “I could turn you into a money-maker for the sake of my own pride” needs help or a good kick.”
Magic Cards
“Some people were obviously buying cards at a level that was putting them in financial peril. Some people were huge jerks and basically ran off most of the new players.”
“At one point, I (tournament organizer) was talking with someone about organizing an event, and he said, “But we’ll have to deal with Magic players….”
Specific Historical Civilisations
“Being into history isn’t a red flag, but when it translates as ‘The Roman Empire was a perfect society with no issues or flaws; let’s discuss! I feel like I’m at school.”
“Speaking as a history nerd myself, I get put off by anyone who’s overly obsessed by one particular empire or spends too much time praising it.”
Celebrities
“Hollywood worship is weird. It’s fine to be a fan, but if everything in your life is Kim Kardashian themed, I don’t think we will be compatible.”
“My friend was so obsessed that she found the blueprints to his house. I don’t know if she did anything with them (I blocked her), and frankly, I don’t want to know.”
Social Spamming
“You mean those 457 memes I shared because I thought they were funny, and people might enjoy them is a red flag? Well, I never.”
“You have to love 15 stories a day; always the same nails pictures, gym and motivational videos with blurred and moody background b-rolls. Please. Do not.”
Volunteer Tourism
“Beggar backpacking is usually people from well-off countries draining poorer ones. The worst part is how PROUD these people are of themselves.”
“They’re also frequently from well-off families and like to identify as hippies or homeless people in between semesters.”
Influencing
“The number of people I meet who say they’re influencers when they mean “I’m unemployed but well dressed” is truly startling.”
“Put life coaching with that. A life coach is to LinkedIn what an influencer is to Instagram.”
“She’d spent a year and a half taking photos of herself in big white hats, just for likes.”
Wine-tasting
“I’m not having a glass of wine. I’m having SIX. It’s called a “tasting,” and it’s classy.”
“Sure, you can be a connoisseur of fine alcohol, but at some point, isn’t it just alcoholism?”
“Being in the 1% of buyers of a Total Wine isn’t the flex you think it is (he brags about it on Facebook), especially if the only person consuming the wine is yourself.”
Horse-riding
“She will drain every last cent you have buying horse stuff, and, trust me, it is expensive.”
“A horse girl will never love you as much as she loves her horse; this is true based on the cursory observations I’ve made.”
“My friend bought his girl a horse transporter. You even need a special license to drive it.”
Semaphore
“For those who don’t know, it’s a system of sending messages visually. You hold a flag in each hand and change your body position for each letter.”
“I believe this is what the Beatles used for the cover of “Help!”.”
“I only know of semaphores in computer programming. Honestly, anyone having EITHER as a hobby sounds strange.”
