(Snipped to hell)
Maybe I hang out with a different class of potheads, but… I can honestly say I have never in my life heard an actual person do this. Have you actually heard someone ask a question ending in “…on weed ?” Other than Jon Stewart?
Two that rub my nerves raw…
Quality Pot Enthusiasts - “Dude, this purple sticky punch was grown in South America, along the Tropic of Capricorn, during the mystical Summer of Harmony” Just light it already…
People whose hobby is their children (not just “owners”) - A woman at my work is completely devoid of any personal hobbies - she just serves and worships her children. I’ve seen pictures of her daughter’s “wacky” dress-up day at school, heard her daughter’s debate team details, etc. etc. She honestly never says anything about herself, her life her interests. And, I had the misfortune to get mixed up with the local Girl Scout Service Unit. A bunch of moms who live and breathe their children, stand at stoplights to collect change for cheerleading, and look down on women who have their own hobbies and lives…
I dated a cat lady. Well, she wasn’t a cat lady yet, but god damn did she try. I had to mitigate the effect and she snuck an extra cat on me in mid-relationship. I couldn’t say no because she’d seen it being abused and rushed into save it.
But the cat paraphenalia. And the cat youtube videos. And the cat puns. And regaling all of our friends with cat stories that little Ziggy did that was so cute! And on, they’re getting fat!
I forced her into some compromises, though. A cat picture frame? Well, OK, but only in the bedroom, and it must have pictures of people in it. And I get to name the cats.
Great girlfriend all around otherwise, though.
But nevertheless, an ex-girlfriend, I note.
God I know just what you mean,everything their little darlings is cute,funny or clever …And then she did a little fart!more of a pop really!and she then said"That wasn’t me daddy"
At this point my best mate has tears of laughter running down his face and all I’m thinking is that I have just had ten fucking minutes of my life wasted listening to this tosh.
Well, that’s as silly a generalization as thinking it was all castles and pageantry. Any historical period will be discussed, or lectured on, with tedious wankery from both sides of a given opinion.
I’m in the SCA, a club that’s definitely prone to tedious wankery, but I think it’s mostly inwardly directed. We contain members of all the other realms of wankdom already mentioned, who on top of that are enthusiasts for an often romanticized version of medieval history – but I don’t think there’s much tedious wankery about the SCA itself to the general public. (“Tedious wankery” is fun to say; sounds inherently funny.)

LIVE music?! Do you not realize how much the sound quality of live music sucks?!
On or off weed?
Man
Don’t know. But if I were an audiophile, I would not do weed. It would be a shame to fall asleep in the middle of listening to an album that’s costing me $300 a minute to hear, pro-rated.
Which hobby attracts the most tedious wankers? Resurrecting zombie threads. 
I can’t agree with that – Top Gear almost makes car stuff interesting for someone like me who thinks they’re about as interesting in all their intricate detail as watching paint dry.
Bird watchers.
You’re walking along with them, talking pleasantly, when all of a sudden they interrupt the conversation mid-sentence, whip out the binoculars, and stare intently at…something you can’t see. Or at the grey miniscule butt of a bird fast disappearing in the distance.
“What-cha looking at?
“There ! A Blue-gray Gnatcatcher!”
" Where? Where? I don’t see it!”
“Nah. It’s gone now.”
You can say what you want about gun-enthusiasts, stamp-collectors, and oenologists, but at least they can actually demonstrate what they are talking about.
changed my mind.
Sorry about that; I came across the thread through a search (I forget what for). Got interested, ended up reading the whole thread, and posted a reply without looking at the last date. Not the first time, either.
Well, sure; otherwise it isn’t a hobby. 
Why would anybody want to do this? Spen hours with binoculars, hoping to spot the 4:45 express to downtown?
Now for mine-I enjoy visiting F. Lloyd Wright houses…does that make me a “wanker”?
That depends - what do you do while you’re inside those houses? And do the owners know you’re there?
Come to think of it, I guess wanking itself counts as a hobby. Now, if somebody at the office won’t stop talking about this particular hobby, the problems will go way beyond just being tedious.
I bicycle. My co-workers don’t. I often catch myself going on and on about the latest long-distance ride I’ve done or new accessory purchased, while they’re trapped at their desks and can’t get away. I’m trying to knock it off, or at least give them the opportunity to gush about their hobbies in return.
Only if you wank in all those houses - now that would be a hobby 
My hobby is falconry. When we’re out with our hawks or trapping, if someone comes along and asks us what we’re doing, we never, never mention falconry, or we’re in for a minimum twenty minute Q/A session.
However, if we say we’re bird watching, they hurry away in extremely short order and leave us to our business.
