What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be? (lemmy.world)

For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

Dangerous and illegal stuff, like:

Not wearing a helmet
Using the bike lane to pass cars
Trying to show off on public roads
Going way over the speed limit and speed of traffic
Rev bombing when someone cuts you off

Let's see if you can guess the hobby

Unicycling?

I'm assuming when you say "rev bombing" you mean "[eating a bunch of beans and cutting the loudest farts you can] when someone cuts you off"

Close, motorcycling.

The rev bombing is when you pull in the clutch and twist the throttle to make the engine rev and make a lot of noise without the motorcycle accelerating. It's completely pointless and it takes away your focus from actually controlling the motorcycle, but you can find countless clips online where someone gets cut off and then proceeds to rev bomb, flip the car off, and sometimes even smash the car's mirror.

I was joking, as a motorcycle rider it was super obvious what you were talking about.

The rev bomb wasn't intentional, I just missed the shift from 1st to 2nd and wound up in neutral by accident.

You can find tons of clips online of motorcycle riders intentionally rev bombing when something (usually a car) irritates them.
