Things I *don't* do as a hobby

[compilerbitch]

Inspired by Scott Adams' wonderful oneliner from his current Dilbert blog:

Atheism is religion the same way that NOT collecting stamps is a hobby

I just started wondering if you lot had antihobbies. An antihobby isn't the absence of a hobby -- I mean, there are loads of things I don't do, like polevaulting for example, but I can't say that I make a hobby of not polevaulting.

<flamebait>Vegetarianism, for some people, appears indistinguishable to others as making a hobby of not eating meat.</flamebait>

Discuss.

I don't know if I told you about the ground switch?  Old American amps, predating the introduction of grounds into domestic circuits, tend to let you connect the chassis to the neutral pin instead.  Ungrounded, unpolarized plugs being symmetrical, though, this pin could be the live pin.  Fortunately the chassis contains a metal switch that lets you choose which pin is connected to the chassis.

The connection from the pin to the chassis is, admittedly, via a very small value capacitor ... an electrolytic one.

I'm sure you know what happens to electrolytics after thirty years.

We pulled out the ground switch before we powered the amp up.

Rather you than me.
