I'm kind of an amateur cop, yeah I know it's stupid. I never had the balls or the physical ability to be a real cop, I'm small, slow, and weak. But I have an advanced intellect, I'm really quite brilliant and believe I could be an expert crime solver in the lines of Sherlock Holmes, Monk, or Tasha Yar.

I have real life IRL experience, where are the:
Keys
Remote
Children
Tax returns
Clit
Russians
Socks
Keys
Love
Bacon

I solved all that shit, some more than once, I'm looking at you keys.

I have a police scanner, I'm up on all that shit, plugged in, on point. I have connections within the Carol Stream Police Department, no names let's just say the Mayor tells me everything.

Am I a cop? Technically no.
Do I act like one? Oh hell yes.
Would I shoot an unarmed innocent minority?
Do I have a badge? No.
Do I want to beat people?
Are the authorities aware of my activities? To an extent.
Who do you like this Sunday? The cops.

You asked about a useless hobby..... It is entirely useless until it isn't. Although, I would say my money is better spent than, on say, Zippos if you wanna be a dick about it.

if you lived in Houston last week it wouldn't have been so useless. Or lived in NO over 10 years ago......and so on and so on. I guess you can just sit there and hope someone else helps you survive instead but I trust myself more then anyone else

My useless hobby used to be cars but now that I use uber every time I go out it's not worth investing in a bad ass car anymore and just sold my vet. I guess shooting and working out are my main hobbies

Guns, knives, shoes, gardening.

First 2 are a waste of money but I like owning and playing with those man- toys.

Owning lots of shoes is admittedly very ghey, but my wife likes when I dapper-up for our nights out. I will always invest in and toward a happy wife.

Gardening has soaked up an insane amount of my money (for infrastructure mostly), but there's a somewhat justifiable ROI there.

It's hard enough to keep Gear Acquisition Syndrome in check so my bank account is not bled dry, but within that field, you *never* go cheap. Sure, getting a Best Buy Special tripod seems like a good deal, until you realize it vibrates more than the gas-powered dildo from Naked Gun 2-1/2. Quality costs money.

Be careful out there, a cop might think you are pointing a gun at them.
