I had a conversation with a client yesterday who spent 10 minutes regaling me with a story about his latest high end pen purchase, upon which he spent approx. $5,000. He's pretty rich so he has the cash to indulge the hobby, but I just don't get the underlying fascination, upon which this dude has spent many, many thousands of dollars. I get spending a bit more for a decent pen that works right, but the concept of 'fancy' pens just seems ludicrous to me, and collecting them even more of a head-scratcher.
Similar reaction to a friend of mine who's a sneaker head - she's got upwards of 200 pairs of sneakers at last count, and she acknowledges that some of them she's unlikely to ever wear.
This is a different reaction for me than hobbies like golf. I don't like golf, I think it's sort of silly, but I get that it's attractive to some people due to it being a combo of physical and mental practice, gets you outside, is sociable, etc.
What else is out there that makes you go 'huh?'
