Running Backwards, Doing Laundry and Other Unusual Hobbies

Gardening, cooking, knitting, reading. We all have hobbies. But some people pursue more unique pastimes. Like what? Well, some win more claw machine prizes than they know what to do with, set world records for running backwards and travel great distances just to do laundry with other spin-cycle obsessives. Others collect milk bottles even though they don’t like milk and marvel at the circular intersections known as roundabouts. And you know what? Doing all of these things makes them really happy and enriches their lives. And that’s what hobbies are all about.

Just the smile on these people's faces when they talk about the thing they love most, you can see their passion. I hope everyone can find their own unusual hobby.

The laundry guys look exactly how I imagined they would, but damn, that was strangely wholesome.

Imagine if a killer chasing him



He running for his life while making direct eye contact with him

LMAO I gotta tell my dad about this club cuz he watches laundry machines too.
Says it reminds him of being out on the seas when he was in the navy. Lol thought he was the only one

It’s sexy being dull!

I love your enthusiasm sir.

[AzlianaLyana]

Why not. You can be dull but still happy and satisfied with your life, and that's all that matters really. 👍

I can't imagine a group of middle-aged men just enthusiasticly talking about washing machine in their basement

[TrevorProductions]

This video makes me so happy and satisfied. It's awesome seeing people celebrating the ordinary things in life, and not being affected by the perspectives and stereotypes of society today. Way to go!

[astaridjatmiko]

[hfredydl]

Yay! Everyone is so different and unique! I love it - it would be so dull if everyone was the same and had the same tastes and hobbies. All these people rock ☺️

I'm going to create a Laundry Club and Dull Club in Sims 4 because of this video.

It makes me so inexplicably happy that so many of the things we consider so mundane can give such joy to someone else. Its so utterly human and so utterly adorable :)

This people shows the uniqueness of humanity. Imagine if all the people in the world just do the same thing, it will make our species dull.
