What people will not come up with in order to have fun and pass the time! In this list, you will find seven of the most unusual hobbies in the world.
1. Filing statements of claim in court
Judgment is something that many, at least sane people try to avoid, but not Jonathan Lee Riches, who entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most litigious person in the world. He is currently serving time for fraud in a federal penitentiary in Kentucky.
In pursuit of "legal masterpieces," Riches has filed 2,600 lawsuits in various federal district courts between 2006 and today. The targets of his litigation were former US President George W. Bush, Somali pirates, the missing American trade union leader Jimmy Hoffa, Holocaust survivors, the Roman Empire, and even Buddhist monks. Jonathan Lee Riches has also sued various scientific ideas and inanimate objects, among them the Lincoln Memorial, the Dark Ages and the Eiffel Tower.
2. Collecting ecstasy
In 2009, the police in the city of Irbik (Netherlands) received a strange call: a 46-year-old man reported that an unknown person had stolen a collection of ecstasy from his house, which was stored in coin albums and consisted of more than 2,400 tablets.
According to the victim, he himself never used drugs and was well aware that his unusual hobby was illegal. The man decided to report to the police for the simple reason that several dozen pills in his stolen collection were poisonous.
The Irbik authorities did not press charges against him due to a lack of direct evidence. The man said he no longer hoped to see his amphetamine collection again.
3. Flying… without a plane
Have you ever jumped from an airplane with a parachute? And with a parachute, then without an airplane, in a wingsuit, soaring like a bird above the ground?
Wingsuits appeared in the early 1930s and were made of canvas and whalebone, which, of course, had a negative effect on the duration, range and safety of the flight.
Modern wingsuits began to be developed in the mid-1990s. Thanks to an improved design, they allow the athlete to overcome tens of kilometers through the air (the current record is just over 27 km) when falling from a height of 5000 meters.
Buying a wingsuit in the United States, for example, is quite difficult, since the government of the country, as well as a number of manufacturers, require a person to have serious experience in this matter - at least 200 standard free-fall jumps made no earlier than 18 months before submitting the request to buy a suit.
4. Extreme ironing
Ironing clothes is a rather boring and tedious task. But what if you combine it with rock climbing, snowboarding and other extreme sports? Brad, you say. But no!
It all started in 1997, when an East Midlands resident named Phil Shaw was given a choice: stay at home and do what he loves - ironing - or go rock climbing with friends. Being quite a sane person, Shaw decided to combine both, therefore, in addition to climbing equipment, he also took with him an ironing board and an iron. So a new hobby was born - extreme ironing, which in 15 years managed to conquer the whole world. Fans of the sport (if you can call it that) have ironed their shirts on kayaks, mountaintops, and even on busy highways.
5. Participation in dog trimming competitions
People who take part in dog trimming competitions "mock" the poor animals as they please. What is there to say?! Judge for yourself:
6. News bombing
Some people make history, while others are constantly trying to "light up" in the news reports, just at the moment when this story is being conveyed to the audience. They call such background characters “news bombers.”
The man who is captured in all the frames below is a resident of London, Paul Yarrow. For several years, he managed to appear in many reports of such well-known television companies as the BBC, al Jazeera, Sky News and others.
Yarrow learns about the places from which the live broadcast will be conducted, comes there, and while the correspondent is talking about the events on camera, he simply stands in the background, without disturbing anyone.
7. Trainsurfing (travel outside trains)
Trainsurfing originated in Germany in the 1980s and from there has spread around the globe. Its essence is to find the train - the faster the better - jump on it and probably die after that. And what other consequences can be expected from such a dangerous undertaking?
In 2008, train jumping killed more than 40 people in Germany, mostly young people.
Hobby is a favorite activity that allows you to temporarily escape from routine problems, and enjoy the process itself, and what is the result. Surprising is not only the huge variety of these same hobbies, but also their very content: some hobbies are simply extraordinary! Check out a selection of the most unusual, amazing, and even strange hobbies, and the people who became famous thanks to them, perhaps this will also become your source of inspiration.
1.Home decoration with lids
Olga Kostina, a resident of the Urals, became famous thanks to the fact that she decorated her house with colored plastic covers. To do this, she needed 30 thousand caps, which she diligently collected, sorted and washed, and then attached with nails and a hammer. Now lid ornaments, resembling embroidery, adorn the facade of the house, gates and outbuildings. It is not surprising that this miracle attracts tourists from all over the world.
2. Huge ball
Decorator Mark Carlmine once decided to paint a baseball. Over time, he got used to it and applied only 22894 layers of paint to it, as a result of which the ball began to weigh 1587 kg. This ball, which is more appropriate to call it a ball than a ball, has become famous, and now people from all over the world come to add another layer of paint to it. The creator has one rule of his creativity - each new color applied to the ball must be different from all previous ones. Such a hobby has gained its followers, as evidenced by photographs of other huge colorful balls.
3.Charity
Charity has long been almost the main hobby of the powerful, but one person, an unemployed American, Reed Sandridge, really elevated it to the status of a hobby that can rightfully be considered the kindest hobby of all known today. After he was fired from his job, he decided to help those in need for free. He does this in the following way: he takes 10 dollars, goes out into the street, finds himself, in his opinion, in need, and gives him this money. Reed has a special notebook where he writes down all the good deeds he has done in order to preserve the memory of the people he has ever helped.
4. Unusual dog haircut
This hobby has recently become widespread in China. And a certain Katherine Miles from Australia managed to make it his profession, and become a first-class stylist for animals. A variety of bizarre figures are cut out of wool, dogs are dyed in the most juicy shades and they are made into real works of art.
5. Pumpkin carving
Good day, dear students and parents!
Having wandered through the pages of the Internet, I found interesting articles about the hobbies of different people to whom they devote their free time from work, and sometimes their whole lives. Sometimes a favorite activity found absorbs a person so much that it becomes the main one in which the craftsman reaches the highest skill.
I picked up the top ten, which includes unusual hobbies of people in different countries, which seemed to me the most interesting and cause delight and surprise.
Lesson plan:
Sculptures made of wood
Many people are passionate about ancient Chinese occupation, but the master from China Zheng Chonghui was able to build the longest sculpture in the world from solid wood - more than 12 meters. The work, about 3 meters high, was made in the form of a wooden copy of the Chinese painting “Along the river during Qingming”, created more than a thousand years ago.
The author worked for four years, carving rivers, people, animals, forests, boats and even entire villages on the canvas from wood. As a result, more than 550 human figures settled on the sculpture. For his work, Zheng Chonghui received a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records.
Sculptures in pencil
An unusual hobby of the American artist and sculptor Dalton Getty. For 25 years he has been fond of carving on... It's hard to believe - pencil lead!
He has achieved such mastery that he simply makes masterpieces of miniature sizes out of fragile material. And while working, he does not use magnifying glasses. Among his working arsenal is only a blade, sewing needles and a knife.
The most painstaking work, to which he devoted two and a half years, is a miniature of a pencil with a chain.
Few people believe that it is made from a single lead without gluing. How he does it? As Dalton himself says, he never sells his wonderful creations, but gives them to his friends.
Paintings with nails
Each of us imagines how to hammer an ordinary nail, but the British Markus Levin can not only drive it into the wall, but also knows how to approach this process creatively, creating artistic masterpieces from building material. At least fifteen thousand nails and one hammer - all that the master needs, so that in three days - a maximum of a month - another work of art will be born.
Markus “draws” his iron paintings by hand, like any other artist, without preliminary sketches. The pioneer of such an artistic direction called “Nail sculpture” has been enthusiastically engaged in a hobby since 2005. Today, the artist's favorite occupation brings a good income - his paintings are successfully sold, and at a price of about $ 40,000.
sand drawings
American surfer Jim Denevan has a peculiar hobby, which, alas, is short-lived - he draws his amazing pictures on the beach sand.
During his 18 years of creativity, he decorated more than a hundred beaches around the world with a rake and wooden sticks. The creative process begins immediately after low tide, so that by the time the sea water returns, the drawing is ready.
When creating sand paintings, Jim does not resort to either measuring instruments or mathematical calculations of distances, doing everything “by eye”, as his heart tells him. Would you feel sorry for the work that the sea wave swallows at high tide? But the artist has a philosophical attitude to the process of destroying his works by nature, calling it an integral part of creativity.
You can see works of sand art only at the time of their creation or already in photographs.
Microminiatures
There are craftsmen in Russia too. So, the modern Tula "Lefty" Nikolai Aldunin is fond of creating tiny metal miniatures.
Being a mechanic by education, he achieved such skill that he was able to make a rifle the size of a grain of rice, shod a flea with golden horseshoes under a microscope, put a golden saddle on it, settled camels in the eye of a needle and placed the T-34 tank on longitudinal sections of an apple seed. and the Ostankino tower with a height of 6.3 mm.
metal embroidery
Many girls know how to cross-stitch, laying out the details of a fabric pattern stitch by stitch. But the Lithuanian craftswoman Severia Insirauskaite is fond of embroidery on metal.
To do this, she takes a male tool - a drill, makes holes, and then embroiders patterns with a cross. In her creative piggy bank are beautifully decorated buckets and shovels, car hoods and doors.
Card figures
Playing cards is not a very useful activity, but the playing cards themselves can be very useful if you do construction.
American Bert McLain became a famous architect thanks to playing cards, from which he built a five-story house at the age of 5. If you have enough patience, you can try your hand at building at least a three-story building. But the talented Bert honed his skills by building pyramids and copies of American skyscrapers from maps. Hobbies led him to world fame.
The Saudi Arabian government commissioned Bert to build a card replica of the royal high-rise complex. For a month and a half and a fee of $ 1.5 million, the card builder built an object 15.3 meters long and 3.5 meters high, using 4,351 decks of cards on it.
pooktre
This is the art of growing plants and trees of a certain shape in order to create natural sculptures from them.
This hobby can be boasted by the spouses Peter Cook and Becky Northey, who began their work with the cultivation of a wooden chair, directing the growth of trees in a given trajectory. For work, sculptors use garden plum and bird cherry.
They do not tell their secret of painstaking intervention in nature, creating intricate images year after year.
Star fever
Who has a hobby, but Briton Paul Yarrow will have a wasted day if he does not flash in the background during television filming.
His bald head and corpulent body, invariably dressed in a beige sweater, have become so familiar to viewers of well-known TV channels Sky News, BBC, Channel 4, ITV and others that reporting without the usual worker "behind the scenes" is already losing its appeal. An unusual passion to be always in the frame made Paul a TV star.
rides
American old man Vic Clement, aged about 80, prolongs his youth with his hobby. How do you think?
He gets emotionally charged on a "roller coaster", flying at breakneck speed at least 20 times for each visit to the amusement park. About 4,000 flights high into the air were counted by extreme sports enthusiasts, confirming their records with saved receipts. Vic set the absolute record on the Jack Rabbit wooden ride, riding as many as 90 times in one sitting.
These are the most unusual hobbies people from different countries have. By the way, this interesting information can be used to develop an unusual school project. Do you agree?
What do you do in your free time from studies? Tell us in the comments and maybe someone will tell about you in their research project.
Success in your studies!

You do not know how to entertain yourself in the evening? You do not want to cross-stitch or go in for equestrian sports? Look at the list of unusual hobbies. These classes are non-trivial and interesting. Yes, they will require you to invest effort and money, but then you will be able to do business that your soul lies in.
sand painting
One of the unusual hobbies that became popular thanks to Ksenia Simonova captured the minds of people. Sand painting - even a person who is far from art can learn it. Yes, drawing skills will undoubtedly be required. But drawing silhouette images is much easier than doing similar work with pencil and paper. You should come up with or find a suitable image and then use your fingers to draw it in the sand. This exciting activity develops creative thinking.
If you are not tempted to draw images on a flat surface, you can create drawings inside the bottle. This activity can become one of the creative hobbies. To do this, you will need sand or tinted salt. Pour the material into the bottle in layers, and then use a long sharp stick to create a pattern. A little evening practice, and you will create non-trivial handmade gifts within an hour. This hobby can even be turned into a business.
Scotch tape pictures
Creative people use a creative approach to create their masterpieces. For example, Max Zorn, a Dutch artist, uses scotch tape as a material for his work. This unusual hobby made him famous all over the world. But you, too, can try yourself in this art form. There is nothing complicated here. If you can't draw but have a good sense of shape, you can print people's silhouettes and "paint" them with scotch tape. It's not difficult at all.
It is enough to break the drawing into light and shade parts, and then sculpt the necessary shape. In this way, you can create not only portraits. You can draw nature, architecture or cartoon scenes. Even a primitive image made using this technique will look amazing. If it’s difficult for you to immediately feel the idea, you can first copy a few paintings of the Dutchman. This will help you understand the essence of working with tape. And do not think that copying is not creativity. At first, all famous artists were only engaged in redrawing the paintings of recognized masters.
Pictures from coffee beans
Want to find unusual hobbies? Consider creating paintings from coffee beans. This type of creativity can be mastered even by people who do not know how to draw at all. The fact is that creating silhouettes is much easier than ordinary full-fledged paintings. All you have to do is print the appropriate line image and fill it in. After just a week of practice, you can create your first piece of art. The main thing in this kind of creativity is accuracy and painstaking work.
ebru
Hobbies are different. Some of them are creative, others are sports, and others are aimed at self-development and self-improvement. Ebru is a creative hobby. And what does this incomprehensible word mean?
Ebru is the Turkish art of water painting. The basin is filled with a special solution, which can be purchased at any art store, and then paint is poured into the water using a knitting needle. Paintings are created by mixing layers of color pigment. Think it's difficult? No. A little practice, creativity and imagination will help you become a good artist.
slate art
What are some hobbies that help develop creative skills? One of them is slate art. And if it seemed to you that such work is done with a pencil, then you are mistaken. They are created on a pencil, or rather, on its lead.
Skilled craftsmen can carve jewelry pieces. For example, it could be a camel caravan or a profile of a woman. One of the popular themes is intertwined hearts. It takes more than one year to master this hobby. First of all, a person must become a sculptor and jeweler, and only then will he be able to create works of art from a fragile lead.
Photo art
What are the hobbies? Today, one of the most popular leisure activities of people is photography. Of course, amateur phone shooting cannot be considered art. But the creation of creative works with the help of professional equipment can become not only a hobby, but also a job. Wedding photographers start by making photography a hobby. They train their eyes, learn to use the equipment, set the light correctly and choose a good angle. After years of practice, they get wonderful shots that help them earn money with the help of their favorite pastime.
Writing fanfiction
One of the types of hobbies is literary creativity. But it is not necessary to create your own universe and invent heroes. If you have a favorite book but don't like the ending, or want to make a subplot the main one, you can do that. Write fanfic. What it is? This is a work of art based on an already existing story. But you do not copy it, but supplement or remake it a little. Sometimes such creative works can become more popular than the work they are a parody of. Just remember Fifty Shades of Grey. This book, according to one version, was written as a fan fiction for "Twilight".
cosplay
Do you like dress up parties? Then a fashionable hobby called cosplay is just for you. a kind of masquerade, in which adults become heroes of their favorite comics, historical eras or TV shows. There are many cosplays, and they are all of different genres. You can choose the one you like. Such events need to be prepared in advance. All participants sew their own costumes or order them in the atelier. It is in this preparation that the cosplayers find their main pleasure. The process of creating an image is more important for many than performing in a costume during the evening.
Butterfly breeding
A century ago, people bred pigeons. It was a hobby not only for aristocrats, but also for ordinary citizens. Even today you can find people who are not indifferent to these birds. But there are very few of them. But breeding butterflies can become an unusual hobby and hobby. Some are fascinated by the process of the appearance of a beautiful creature from a cocoon, others are simply pleased to look at the motley beauty. And also many people make this hobby a profitable business.
Today it is fashionable to order butterflies for a wedding, Valentine's Day or a birthday. Guys confess to girls in love, using winged creatures to achieve greater effect. You can breed butterflies for yourself, or you can sell them. In any case, this unusual hobby will bring unprecedented pleasure.
edible creativity
What is the hottest hobby today? Of course it's baking. Being a professional cook is a difficult task. Even an inept housewife can bake muffins and buns at home. But not everyone can create small masterpieces from culinary products. Therefore, people who have creative thinking and can knead the dough have firmly occupied the baking niche. Girls in their free time can create small cakes or complex compositions that are decorated with mastic. Housewives bake pancakes or make Viennese waffles.
If you do not know what to do at your leisure, give preference to cooking. Relatives and friends will definitely appreciate your new hobby. And also with proper skill, you will be able to establish mass production. For example, bake cookies for the holidays and sell them to colleagues. Or maybe you will enjoy collecting gingerbread houses, and you can earn money by creating them.
Construction
An unusual hobby for men is collecting miniature models. Many boys in childhood are fond of building with Lego. But when the boys grow up, it becomes not so interesting for them to combine plastic parts. The soul wants something more. But not everyone becomes architects and engineers. Some go into law or medicine. But their leisure is occupied by the construction of cities in miniature. These can be both collective images of our homeland and realistic projects of cities. Moreover, some reach such a level of skill when they launch miniature cars to drive around the city, turn on the lights in the windows and start the trains.
Houses of cards
An interesting and unusual hobby is construction. But not in the standard sense of the word. Everyone has tried these masterpieces. But few people achieve good success in this kind of activity. Some are limited to buildings with three floors, and some erect "large-sized buildings." Moreover, many are fascinated not so much by the process of creating such a structure as by the process of its destruction. But such destroyers prefer the construction of dominoes. This is also a kind of hobby, which today is considered almost an art. Why? The fact is that after the domino falls, interesting images are created from it.
