GeneralIt's been said already but...memberlewax0026 Feb '13 - 11:17 
This really should allow multiple selections. I do just about all of those on a daily basis, besides the "Building / Fixing stuff", which is an on and off thing for me, and don't do either of "Sports or physical activity" and "Quiet time", except on very rare occasions.

Same here, minus the sport.

I checked other because I did not want to check only one option. I easily do most, if not all, of the choices in my spare time.
What me worry?

GeneralStereotype programmer survey?memberNaerling26 Feb '13 - 8:12 
Why only one option? Like programmers only do one thing next to programming. And that one thing is probably building/fixing stuff. Out of all those million things to chose from... D'Oh! | :doh:
For me it's consuming movies and music mostly. I went for music on this one, but I would've ticked them both if possible.
Building/fixing stuff and sports are extra unchecked. Yikes! to both!
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
    public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

GeneralWhy I choosed "other"memberihoecken26 Feb '13 - 5:48 
Well I do a lot of things in my spare time and I would checked some options if it would have been possible and I think it's the same for the most other here. Shucks | :->

GeneralSince I was...memberMarco Bertschi25 Feb '13 - 23:35 
not able to tick more than one thing I decided to count everything as "Socialise". Yes - I am not too long in the dev business yet so I still do this odd thing. Kinda. More or less. More less.
cheers

If I hadn't used up my one vote on the main choices I would have added, Other: Check email for shipping confirmation on Surface. I don't want to wait until March first!
