I list Eminem rap as a hobby...and I'm Asian. A HH actually saw that and said something like hey people usually list Texas Hold'em. I was like yeah fuck that. 

Persistency is Key
 

If it's under interests I don't see how that's a problem. If it's under a line titled hobbies then yeah that's not a hobby. Still annoying from the HH to be a bitch abt it.

 

I like to throw bread into ponds with no ducks in my free time. I find it relaxing. 

 

Had an MD who professed to having an addiction to bringing women to the brink where he'd almost be cheating on his wife and stop it there. Not a hobby but was bizarre enough to mention here lol
