I have this urge, in the winter, when the snow is really deep and the roadside ditches start to fill up, to drive as fast as I can and veer off the road and see how long my car would be airborne.
Sometimes the urge surfaces in the summer – to pick a spot and just drive the car off into a cornfield or a farmer’s pond.
Must be the Smokey and the Bandit Syndrome.
I’ve resisted it successfully, so far.
What impulses have you resisted?
I’ve successfully resisted the impulse to get a tattoo. But with each passing day, I feel my resolve weakening. I’m pregnant right now…I may get one after this kid is born, as a reward. 
Its a good thing these chairs come with fart vents.
I keep getting this impulse to wrap my hands around someone’s neck and squeeze until their eyeballs pop out of their head and their tongue turns blue. But then I change channels and I’m all right.

I resist the impulse to smoke once a day right now, but that is down from about 2,567 times a day that it was a few weeks ago…

Damn.
Good one! Me? I resist smacking other people’s children about a dozen times a day. And their parents sometimes, for that matter.
I was laying in bed with the ex one night, he was sleeping and his stupid hand was in my face. Suddenly, I had the urge to bite his finger as hard as I could. I knew if I did, he’d wake up, and a fight would ensue, but I just couldn’t help myself. CHOMP! I bit him very hard. He woke up, and I pretended to be sleeping. I said I must have been dreaming, and he should calm down, because c’mon, how hard could I have bit him? I would have gotten away with it too, if I had been able to stop myself from laughing.

At least it was only his finger…(cringe)
Sometimes I have this urge to scream. I mean really let fly with a verbal belt. Does anyone here remember Primal Scream Therapy? I guess it’s like that. Just this overwhelming want to rail out all my anger and pain in one gut wrenching scream. I have never done it because the urge comes upon me in places where it’s not a good idea to act it out. Perhaps someday I’ll hike into the middle of nowhere and let fly. So if you hear a howl in the night, relax, it’s only me.

That’ll just make your throat hurt. I suggest a stern look, and harsh thoughts, possibly a strongly worded letter.
This feeling I have is not directed at anyone or anything. It is as if all the anger, rage, shame and pain I have ever felt want to blast away from my body. It is not attached to it is a pushing away from.
There’s a lot of things I have to resist fixing when I do anything, because I am a compulsive perfectionis

Didn’t resist e-mailing my old boyfriend when I found his e-mail address on AOL (when I had it at work). Never heard back from him. I guess that says it all!
Sometimes when speaking to someone i have an almost uncontrollable urge to bite their nose REALLY hard.
Also any time i’m holding a cream pie (not that i walk around holding pies all day, but on the rare occation I am carrying one to or from the fridge) I have the urge to smoosh it into my or someone elses face.
Never have done either though.
To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.
OO OO I thought of another one, that sometimes i resist and sometimes I don’t. Once and a while, I will be kissing my wife and suddenly get the urge to blow into her open mouth with a lung full of air. After a few smacks I’ve resisted though.

I can’t resist spending money on neat old books. Spent my last $10 til payday on the weekend, for a beautiful book published in 1908 on Arts and Crafts furniture. I’m reduced to eating leftovers from Friday’s staff party for lunch till paid this Wednesday. I don’t regret it, though.
As Oscar Wilde said (or wrote): “I can resist anything except temptation.”
I always have a hard time resisting theological debates with catholic priests.
Me: “Why can’t you marry?”
Them: “The church is my bride.”
Me: “So, when you leave one church for
another, is that bigamy or do you get
a divorce?”
Yeah, I know, I going to hell, but I’m headed there for so many other reasons.
