Do you have a some free time to spare everyday? Here are some of the weirdest hobbies that people have taken up. Some of these hobbies are simply gross, others will raise your curiosity and some are just weird!
1. Mooing
Some people have a skill for making different animal sounds. Did you know that there are competitions for mooing. These competitions take place in rural settings where farming is popular. Nothing is to bizarre these days. Every year in Wisconsin, USA, people compete to win a cash prize for the best impression of a cow. All you need to do is brace yourself, stand straight, and moo like a cow. Sounds like fun right?
2. Faking Death
Yes, that is right. Faking death has become a popular hobby. It is a hobby that is known as “planking” and a person must lie as still as a plank in various unusual locations. When he could not make it as an actor, Chuck Lamb decided he would play dead to earn a living and he is became very successful at faking his own death! His death pictures and videos have attracted quite the crowd.
3. Competitive dog grooming
Taking your dog to the parlour has a whole new meaning. Photos of dogs styled in array of colors have been making their rounds online and they are all real, they all form part of competitive dog grooming competitions.
4. Milk bottle collecting
Collecting glass milk bottles is a common hobby among people, but none can beat Paul Luke’s collection of milk bottles however. His collection has over 10,000 bottles and he has built a museum to store them all.
5. Soap carving
This hobby is not actually weird. People who do this is as a hobby take a regular bar of soap and carve it into a work of art. This hobby is no joke and needs a certain set of tools and skills. Beginners usually start by carving fruit and then move onto carving soap.
6. Tape art
This hobby involves you having to pull out all of the magnetic tape from inside a cassette and then creating a work of art with it. This is a fairly obscure hobby and only started a some years ago but some impressive portraits of celebrities have been created from these tapes.
7. Trainspotting
This is not the movie! It is a real hobby. People watch trains for just fun, and try to jot down the train number in a booklet. Trainspotters “collect” types of trains, tracking trains in certain areas or seeing all the rolling stock from a company.
8. Navel fluff collecting
Yes, this gross hobby is not taken up by just one lonely man but quite a few people. Graham Barker has however taken it to the next level by collecting the lint found in ones belly button for over 20 years and then placing it into carefully marked and dated jars…eww!
9. Extreme ironing
Homework just got a little bit more risky. The hobby requires people to iron out the creases of clothes in weird and unusual ways. There is even a world championship for extreme ironing…
10. Hikaru Dorodango
Or, polishing dirt. It sounds a little odd, we agree. Believe it or not, this is real. You take a ball of mud, draw the moisture out of it while coating it with finer and finer layers of soil after which you start to work the dirt by polishing it by hand into a sphere.
