Which hobbies attract the biggest douchebags?

· 2 min read

Ever wonder which pastime will turn your quiet weekend into a circus of “I‑am‑the‑law”? Reddit says Speedboats and Reselling are top contenders. Below is the raw, uncensored, and hilariously tragic testimony from the frontlines of hobby‑induced chaos.

The Speedboat Spectacle​

  • “Owning a speedboat.”
    Just the headline that screams, “I own a boat that can probably out‑drive your car.”

  • “As an avid boater, this is 100% the answer. These assholes ruin boating for literally everyone else. That's when they're not killing themselves, their passengers, and other boaters by drinking a 12 pack and going 60 mph on the water.”
    Because nothing says “I care about people” like a 12‑pack in the galley and a speed limit of “whatever feels good.”

  • “No kidding man. I was out with family on the river a few years back for 4th of July… A douchebag in a speedboat was flying back and forth along the river, ignoring the no‑wake zone. My BIL kept eyeing this boat and decided to move our boat closer to the shore, saying ‘he’s gonna get somebody killed.’ Sure enough, not 30 minutes later, the speedboat was back and rammed full speed into a pontoon full of people. He killed five people, including his buddy. And like a drunken car accident, he (the driver) survived. It was really fucked up to see.”
    Because the ultimate thrill is watching your life insurance policy get a permanent “no” rating.

The Reseller Racket​

  • “Anything with resell. So a lot of collecting hobbies. Sneakers, Pokémon, Labubu, etc. These resellers are the worst douchebags that will bot, cheat, lie, fight, etc to get something that they can resell to make maybe $20.”
    When your hobby is “how to turn a kid’s card into a $20 profit” and your moral compass is a broken GPS.

  • “That’s not a hobby, that’s a grift.”
    Because if you’re spending your weekends trying to out‑cheat the market, you’re probably doing it for the wrong reasons.

TL;DR​

  • Speedboats: The perfect blend of “I don’t care about anyone else” and “I’m a reckless adult.”
  • Resellers: The ultimate hobby for anyone who thinks “selling” is just a fancy word for “grift.”
  • Bottom line: If you want to attract the biggest douchebags, just pick a hobby that involves high speeds, alcohol, and a willingness to ignore everyone else’s safety.
