To ask if you collect anything that other people make fun of?

[babyno5]

I collect Emma Bridgewater and my friends and family royally take the piss!!
Anyone else collect anything that people find amusing/don't understand?

yes - Doctor Who stuff!

Younger men I regularly get the piss taken out of me

high fives @NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace 😂

Anything limited edition Disney

Scissors. Anything from dinky fold-up ones to forged steel professional pinking shears, I usually have a pair for the job.
Family are welcome to make fun of me but God help them if they use my fabric cutting scissors!

Cat ornaments

I collect vintage toys and games

Star Wars stuff particularly lightsabers, my older daughters hide them in shame when they bring new BFs home..

@Sgtmajormummy that sounds like a really useful thing to collect!!
I got rid of all my non EB pottery so everything is used but I actually sweat listening to anyone else loading or unloading the dishwasher 😂

@isseywithcats many years ago I collected pig ornaments. They are now in boxes in the loft!!

Kevins

@DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops how many do you have? 😳

Fossils
Books
Strange plants
And this year, apparently, tadpoles

15 or so, I think I love meeting a new Kevin!

Why would anyone take the piss out of EB?
I have loads of it and I love it!

Ignore ignore ignore.

Coins - I'm currently hunting the A-Z 10ps. I only need 6 more!

Also Harry Potter memorabilia, my favourite thing so far being a replica chocolate frog.

@TeaAndCake oh you know the usual reaction to the endless red boxes 😂😂

@Youvegotafriendinme I know two Disney Collectors! Their collections are amazing and they both have Disney themed rooms/corners in their houses, which are lovely and suit them perfectly!

Rats, Stick Insects, Tokidoki unicorno figures, Monster high dolls and art and craft supplies apparently Supposedly it's not very grown up of me. I don't care.

Also what the heck is a Kevin? A disorderly teenager?

Walking stick (the rambling kind) badges I actually did this as a teenager. I was very cool. I remembered this randomly last year and told my husband who laughed until there were tears. He didn't believe me until my mum fished out my treasured walking stick from their loft and sent him a photo with all the badges from the Lake District etc.

@DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops do all these Kevin's live with you? I went to school with 3 of them. Should I give them your details? 😂

Mugs. The tackier the better

Pokémon.
I play Pokemon-Go.
The world and his dog like to make derisory comments about that one.

My Wedgwood habit is, however, perfectly acceptable.
