I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

@stefan As a German I thought long and hard, what German phrase was meant.

My best guess is the question "Hast Du kein anderes Hobby?"

This is asked as question and has an even harder sting than the accusation of "hobbyless behaviour".

Because it ask "Don't you have any other hobby?" and therefore implies, that you made anti-social behavior to be your only past time.

@masek @stefan
Variations of the phrase I've heard/said as a German:

  • "Hast du keine (anderen) Hobbies?" (Do you not have (other) hobbies)
  • "Hobbylos?" (Hobbyless? - as a fast reaction)
  • "Bist du hobbylos? (Are you hobbyless? - rare)
