Do you have an interest or hobby that just surprises the hell out of people!?

I play the piano. It’s not a unique hobby or anything but I always get a surprised “really?!!” from people whenever I bring it up

Competitive chess

I can weld

I know how to play the spoons

I don't think anything surprises most around me anymore. They've grown use to me taking interest in many new things. My latest is a chain saw. :)

I make harps. Not kits or anything - draw designs, timber, etc. Started because I was in a rut with guitar, heard an Irish harp and was so ignorant I thought it would be simple to make. I couldn't even hammer a nail straight. All the barriers were just things to learn. The harps are beautiful and sound beautiful.
But have lots of interests. Paint in oils. Brew fine ales. Write books. Woodwork (came from learning to love the journey when building that first harp.) Play bass, guitar, mandolin/ mandola... Not enough time for everything.

I study sociology. That surprises most people

I build model cars…and I play the harpsichord.

I restore vintage audio equipment.

I can code
I know how to work on cars/motorcycles.
I love repairing computers and have been building them ever since I was 7 years old.

Symbolism in art
Programming
Maths and science in art

Everyone enjoys Different things... Glad you found your niche lol

read history and listen to minimalist music

I study supply chain management.

I do digital art...mostly portraits. I'm not great, but getting better. It always surprises people, I guess because I am middle aged and they probably expect me to be just knitting maybe. 😆

Honestly cars as well, oh and I wanna be a ver
