Have you been called weird before? Wait till you read this list of 47 weird hobbies as the real deal of unusual activities. And if you’re wondering, a hobby is considered an activity outside someone’s main occupation. Anything we’re passionate to do after work is a hobby. And it doesn’t really matter if we’re running, knitting, or creating new unique collections, as long as those activities aren’t hurting anyone and keep us level-headed.
Unusual hobbies are noticeably different activities that are out-of-the-ordinary ways of having fun or pursuing a passion. If a hobby is unusual, it doesn’t happen very often, or at least you don’t hear about it very often. Popular terms to define unusual activities are strange, odd, different, unique, or rare hobbies.
To give you some ideas on how to spend your free time (or simply to amuse you), at Bored Panda, we have collected a list of photos where people showcase their cool hobbies. So continue scrolling, and enjoy. Oh, and upvote your favorite pics. We really want to know which one you like best!

#17 My Rare Hobby Started by Buying a Few Advertising Rulers Here and There
I started by buying a few advertising rulers here and there; yard sales, eBay, and the occasional antiques store when they weren’t charging $20/stick. I figured that I would use them as wainscoting in a small room once I found my forever home. People would give them to me as gifts around the holidays. Two homes later, there was some very boring pine paneling and needed something. I still have about 100 yardsticks left. Maybe for a vacation house some day
