What has been your most frustrating moment of an attempted invalidation of your hobbies/interests? (by Sparky)

What has been your most frustrating moment of an attempted invalidation of your hobbies/interests?
Last weekend, I experimented and went to a bar by myself for the first time. While I was there, a woman took interest in me and struck up a conversation. It was going relatively well until she asked me about my hobbies and interests. I mentioned a few things, and eventually I got to mentioning that I like to play Pokemon Go. Immediately the tone shifted, and she started treating me like I was radioactive.
"Don't you think it's time to stop playing kids games?"
I responded, "Don't you think it's a little bit rude to tell other people you barely know how to live?"
With that, she walked away and actually left the bar. My intent wasn't to hurt her or anything, but I was pretty taken aback by her comment and let her know I wasn't a doormat.
What are some of your experiences?
