When I was a kid I was obsessed with fire hydrants and dogs peeing on them. Luckily that didn't last too long. I think that's way weirder than my current obsession.

Oh gosh I don't want to tell mine. It is embarrassing but funny I guess. It was when I was a kid.

I was obsessed with menstrual pads because I didn't understand what they were for. I used to swipe them from the bathroom and collect them in a box under my bed.

No one noticed at first because I only took one at a time. All different kinds so I could get a broad sample to study. But then it got to the point that I was taking entire bags and boxes full and stockpiling them in my box. Eventually my mom found them and had a talk with me about it.

I was obsessed with nail polish. This obsession did not please my parents at all.

Are you male or female?

I'm female.

I liked to paint things with it. And myself. And often it wasn't just my nails. I just liked seeing the color splash on something else.

I was obsessed with pylons when I was little. I still think they're pretty cool for some reason. :)

Weirdest obsession? When I was 8: Aluminum foils. I hoarded, played with, created arts with, and experimented it.
When my mom found out at the 3rd week, she asked me something like "are you planning to become a drug addict or something?" O.o then asking me to stop and throw them all out. I wasted like 3 whole rolls of it. It lasted about a month.

Me too! Once bought three pylons in parts, and then managed to buy a fourth, but I later sold them.

When I was a teenager I had a slime collection. Back then there vending machines at the mall where you could buy it in little capsules. I had scented slime, glow in the dark slime, and neon slime.

In the 90s I also got really into troll dolls, Tamagotchi, and Furby.

Mum told me I liked collecting dried dog turds and Iining them up on a picket fence by colour.

I remember the white ones that light sandy coloured labradors made! (The black labradors made brown poo. I had a keen eye for detail as a child!).

Wood chipper deaths. The U.S. averages three per year. Death doesn't always occur by someone being pulled into the machine and ground up. It can occur by a large fragment of brush flying out of the intake and striking the "chipman" in the head.

Sister told me when I was very young I had an "extreme fascination with sidewalk cracks," but I have absolutely no memory of this.

Nazi Germany. I will not go into the details. That's in the past, now.

I think you'll find the lighter labs were given bones to chew.
