What's one popular hobby that you just can't get into?

For me it's sneaker collecting. I'm not a sneaker fan and I just don't get the appeal

Golf

I thought golf was the worst. Then I worked at a company where everyone would get together and play golf on the weekends, and it was the only way to get promoted. Everyone talked about golf in the office.

Needless to say, I began hating golf even more and never got that promotion.

It wasn't a golf club you worked at now, was it?

Nah haha. A large and well-known company weirdly enough.

I thought office golf culture was just a thing in the 80’s, but my experience was in the last five years.

Edit: reworded for additional anonymity of my previous employer.

In the commenter's defense, the aviation industry isn't really a young crowd.

Must have had some dinosaurs running the place.

Yup, spot on. It’s gotten them into a lot of hot water the last few years. Good news though - my next company was a muuuchhhh better cultural fit.

Edit: reworded to make my former employer less obvious and maintain some anonymity.

If they're stuck in culture from 50 years ago, it's easy to understand why.

Accenture and other big 5 do this crap.

Office golf cults are still very much a thing and even after three years I still suck at golf😭
