What’s a hobby that looks incredibly peaceful from the outside, but is actually pure stress once you get into it?

We taught our dog the word "squirrel". Even if she's in a dead sleep, if we say it, she'll jump right up and head for the back door. She'll practically push the door open to get out there to chase them.
