Now, this is an interesting one. Not quite sure I would pick this one. I know someone who wanted to travel to every single metro train stop. I think he did it, but now they have added several more. Do you know anyone with an unusual hobby or project?
For over half a decade, a 39-year-old man made it his mission to park in every single spot in the parking lot at his local grocery store. He finally compeleted the task.

I don't know why someone would even think to do it honestly.

@LadyDuck It just seems pointless. He must have found it entertaining somehow though.

@snowy22315 I cannot see what pleasure you can get doing something so silly.

I think I would do that if I was a photographer. I'd try to line it up so that I was parking in that next spot slightly later just to get a slightly different picture if that makes sense. Of course, that's hardly practical.

Hey, so I wonder what he did if someone was in the space he planned to park in that day? I guess he went back to it later.

@snowy22315 That's kind of what I was wondering too. Did he just randomly park in spots or did he do it in a consecutive manner?

@ScribbledAdNauseum I think he was fairly organized. He used a spreadsheet.

@snowy22315 I agree. It is one of those things that you just do out for fun - mindless fun.

He obviously went to a lot of effort to do this...I guess what ever floats your boat..

It really makes me wonder how slow things were going if that made the news anywhere.
People wouldn't tell me if they were doing something that stupid. I'd make fun of them.

The strangely curious has always made the news. It is a welcome relief from pandemic or people shooting each other news.

Not sure I would get much stimulation from parking at the same market everyday for six years....Hmmm.

Yup,
I have one in which I have to visit all airports in my country.
Big and small.
I know it's weird but it is what it is.

Well, I understand that one a bit more. I met a couple on an airplane once that were on a mission to play on a golf course in all 50 states. I thought that one was kind of cool. It would make a good book writing about the process.

Apparently so! Some of the supermarkets near the city have big lots. It would take a long time to park in each space.

I know someone with an unusual project ??.
My neighbor is 36 and he is someone who is always looking for a new job, he never had a job for more than 3 months. And he wants it like that, I feel like he's already worked in every category of jobs. He doesn't wanna work with the same partners more than 3 months in a row.
I don't know if it's impressive or just risky.
My fear is that he won't find anything one day.
