I knew a girl that collected her boyfriends jizz in a small bottle. Supposedly carried it around with her and once used it on a squeaky door hinge.
Not sure that counts as a hobby but it certainly seems obscure and is for sure odd |

An ex-girlfriend's dad was a falconer. He basically structured his whole life around it.

I met a guy who claimed to collect spacecraft engines.
Seriously. He showed me one, it was a tiny attitude thruster. I forget what it came from. Obviously these were un-flown units. |

I know someone who goes to every Chick-fi-la grand opening within about a 500 mile radius. They camp out days before the openings. Chick-fi-la gives out a handful of free meal coupons to all of the first customers. To each their own, I guess.

I have quite a few normal or legitimate hobbies, except one:
Collecting pre-1958 (Federal Switchblade Act) Italian switchblades. But only in the 16cm (6,25") small size. I have 24 of them. Why 16cm? It was the size of the first switchblade I ever owned. And I still have it. My mom bought it for me when I was 14. ETA: This is one of the little guys, a 16cm knife stamped "B.Svoboda" on the tang. This tang stamp was a special order imported by Ring Cutlery in northern California in the mid-1950's. "Svoboda" is a Slavic word for "freedom".

WW2 vet who mined opal. This was probably back in 1985-86.
We would always see this older man sitting outside his house working on something. We got bored one day and starting talking to him. We were maybe 7-8 years old. Turns out he would fly to Australia to mine opal. He would clean up the opal ore and finish the gems on the side walk in front of his house. He would tell us WW2 stories. He even gave us water filled jars with opal ore in it. I guess those were the ones he couldn't clean up well or were not good quality. Still odd when I look back on it. |

About the oddest one I have encountered (at least to me) was an older (55+) couple with no kids who were all about Disney.
Their entire home was a shrine to it. The decor, all the pictures of them, everything was friggin Disney. And they weren't poor people by any stretch. Some of the stuff they had (like original props and animation cells are worth bucks). Just seemed weird and a little creepy to me. Knew a guy who had a collection of vintage Skoda cars. Might not be abnormal in Europe but in California I think he was an enthusiast group of one. |

Back in the '80's I had a buddy that made his living off of sourcing, cutting, and selling meteorites.
That wasn't his actual hobby though - his hobby was machining and building crew served laser cannons for fun. They had a small laser emitter (because that's about all you could get, back then), optical sight, a seat, mounted on a tripod base, etc etc. I'll have to see if I can dig up any photos of his stuff. |
