What on Earth for?
I can't say I've ever found how other adults view my hobby to be a problem.
I don't go out of my way to tell people what I do with my spare time. If they do
find out, I just shrug it off with 'everyone needs a hobby' or something.
Whether or not they accept it, it's no skin off my nose. I don't feel the need
to be accepted by everyone I meet. What's the worst thing that could happen due
to someone's non-acceptance?

If you think it's important to advertise your hobby to all and sundry, knock
yourself out, but look around first and notice how much your co-workers
proselytise about their hobbies.

Actually, I don't loose any sleep over anyone thinking that I'm childish or odd in some way because LEGO is a hobby of mine. The purpose of my post was to spur creativity (...)
