Re: irrational and sudden impulses you\'d never really do
Dids,
Yes, for sure on the airplane thing. Otherwise, one of my common ones is thinking about what I'd do if a random passerbyer tried to mug me or something. So occasionally there's an urge for a preemptive strike, like just punching some shady looking person in advance. Haven't followed through on it yet.

Will I be able to keep my cool? Will I go gracefully? What if I manage to live, am I the biggest badass ever? Will it secretly be really relieving?" [/ QUOTE ] I never did this until my father died in a small plane crash in '02, and now I do it quite a bit. He crashed in a twin with and instructor, and I wonder all the time about what he did after he realized the plane was going to hit something hard but before it actually did. Tangent: the worst mistake of my adult lifetime was viewing his body.

Re: irrational and sudden impulses you\'d never really do
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.

[ QUOTE ]
When I see people running somewhere in a hurry, I get the impulse to lower my shoulder and slam into them. [/ QUOTE ] This is a good one. Many times I have imagined getting a running start and just spear-tackling some guy jogging down the street for no reason.

[/ QUOTE ] The other day some bum comming off a bus slammed into this lady ahead of me in line. She just gave him a [censored] look and looked shocked as hell and I was like WTF GET ON THE BUS. Then I thought what I would have done had it been me, and I imagine that it would have been something other than shrugging it off and getting on the bus.

I once got that urge while sitting with my eldest daughter on the lanai on the 8th floor of what was then the Kahala Mandarin Oriental. It was so strong that I picked her up, took her inside, and slid the glass door shut. It was really, really creepy. I was in no danger of actually executing on it, but it lasted for a minute, easy and it was quite powerful. [/ QUOTE ] Dude, I'm sorry to hear about your dad, it must have been (still is) hard on you. I am by no means an expert, but after reading 2 of your posts in this thread, I think you might need some help. A quick impulse to throw your child over a balcony is one thing, but it lasting over a minute, and it leading you to get away from the balcony can't be good. I don't mean to meddle, but it sounds like you obviously care for your kid, and you don't wanna ever do something you regret.

Although I do wish I had superpowers!
