irrational and sudden impulses you'd never really do

[brinks]

Everytime i am holding a firearm, i get the urge/desire to kill someone. It almost scares me sometimes when im in this spot, because i could, right then, if i really wanted to.

There was a thread a while back that linked to a test you could take to see if you were obsessive-compulsive, and one of the questions asked if you ever had the urge to throw people in front of traffic.

I was very relieved to read that thread, because there are times in my life where whenever I'm on a subway platform and a train is approaching, my shoulders get all tense and I become afraid that I am about to push someone in front of the train. I didn't know there was an explanation for it.

Whenever I'm in a really boring ordinary situation I get the urge to stir things up. Like if I'm at a bar and everyone's just chatting and it's boring as hell I start getting the urge to just punch someone in the face, or jump over the bar and hurl the bottles at a wall. When I'm standing waiting for a subway I get the urge to hop down on the tracks and run into the tunnel.

At shea stadium i always have the urge to jump off the upper deck on to the crowd below. (when i think of this one i always wonder how much those peoples lives would change seeing some nut jump to his doom in the middle of a baseball game)

I always have urges to punch people in the face when they are talking to me. Especially the elderly.

I have urges to pick babies up and throw them.

I have urges to stab people when i'm making something with a knife.

I sometime have urges to eat an entire bottle of aspirin when i have a headache.

I guess they arent really urges, more of like "wow how crazy would it be if i did x"

Mine aren't violent, but more anti-social. Like in many work situations (I work in an extremely stuffy, humorless environment), I often have to urge to just start saying nonsensical things and yelling. Like "THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA, BWORHARARARHYCHCYHCYAY WHAT THE [censored] ARE YOU THINKING SHIRLOCK?", then take off my shoe and throw a sweaty sock at them.

I also want to say things when people start getting passive-aggressive in my office, as they often do. Nothing ever gets said straight, everybody has to tip toe and walk on eggshells with each other. I want to say "just come right and tell me how you really feel [censored]? Let's just do it if you got the balls, bitch?"

Anyone else have these work related urges?

I like this thread.

When something's been said for the 10th time in a 12 minute span, I want to stand up and scream "ARE YOU REALLY [censored] SERIOUS OR IS THIS SOME HIDDEN CAMERA TEST!!!! JESUS H CHRIST."

And, thank you.

or when I say something and someone (OK, everyone) who hasn't been paying attention because they're too busy waiting for their own turn to talk basically says the same thing I just said.

Well, I've never gone off on a project manager, nor have I ever abrupty quit a job, so there is that.

The car-crashing when someone does something stupid on the freeway is most likely standard for anyone that's ever had any kind of commute (mine varied from 65-90 mi round-trip between 1996 and 2006).

Dibs, astro, nolan:

"Both astroglide and I have decided to believe that we can stop a plane crash with super powers we don't know exist now, but will manifest themselves when the time is right.

Is anyboyd else with us?"

No, that is retarded.

Diablo,

I'm not sure if superpowers is completely accurate, but I guess I'm pretty sure I could fly that bad boy if I had to.

Although I do wish I had superpowers!
