In the past I mentioned this on here, but I use to work with a mechanical engineer who had a group of guys he would go with to count the cars on trains.

Not sure the exact reason, but they would collect the data and keep up with it. That's probably the most "uncommon" hobby I ever heard someone have.

Anyone else got some weird shite?

I have a coworker who has a running map of fire department and their average response time v. Distance and has made up his own algorithm for fire safety.

At least that is something that could be beneficial.

They aren't counting cars. They're looking for engine numbers and car numbers, and keeping track of what they see.

It's basically like collecting baseball cards used to be. They know what all engines are out there, they try and see them all.

Kind of odd hobby, but there's a lot weirder shite out there people use to fill their time.

Those who are "trainspotters" make an effort to "spot" all of a certain type of rolling stock. This might be a particular class of locomotive, a particular type of carriage or all the rolling stock of a particular company. To this end, they collect and exchange detailed information about the movements of locomotives and other equipment on the railway network, and become very knowledgeable about its operations.

I like to organize stuff. It doesn’t matter what it is or who it belongs to. I organized an entire rack of slacks at Nordstrom last week because it didn’t look right

That dude who created that yoda account that had 5 or 6 other accounts associated with it?

If you are referring to me, I haven't created an alter in 8-10 years. If you don't believe me, you can go to the help board and ask them to confirm it. Not sure if they will, but it seems to be an issue to you.

So you are judging my social skills based on what I post on a message board, where you can't really tell the context of my post? If so, then I think you have horrible social skills beyond communicating on a message board. Jack!
