Urges you ignore (Because going to jail or being comitted sucks)

Sometimes, I’ll be at work or driving somewhere, and I’ll get these quick little urges, almost fantasies (Anyone comparing me to Ally McBeal will be shovel smacked.

Sometimes, I just want to scream at the top of my lungs. This happens a lot at work.

You know that dream where you realize you’re nekkid? A couple of times I’ve imagined stripping in public, just to see how long it would take for someone to call the cops.

To paraphrase George Carlin, sometimes when I’m stuck behind a slow driver, I want to ram his car into third gear.

The ball pit at kiddy playgrounds (Like the ones in McDonalds) call to me.

When I’m on the phone, and someone walks up and talks to me, I have the urge to yell “Do you see this? Do you know what it is? The next time you interrupt me while I’m on the phone I’m going to tap you lightly on the forehead with it. By “Tap lighty”, I mean I’ll crack your thick skull with it.” Of course, I never do this. Being nice sucks sometimes.

Sometimes at resturants, especially nice ones, I want to start a food fight.

When I see some double or even triple parked (Not too hard to do with the extra big pickup trucks), I want to work their car/truck/SUV over with a tire iron. Then take a nice healthy dump on the windshield. I get a simular urge with slow drivers in the fast lane.

Some urges, like dancing on the stage or raised speakers at a club (Sober, no less), I’ve done. Most of my little urges, like the ones listed above, I’d never really do.

But they’re fun to imagine.

just a suggestion, but stay out of the ball pits. lots of the folks who are in them, have, shall we say, limited bladder control??? :frowning:

I don’t have recurrent urges like you seem to

::smiles reassuringly and backs slowly toward the door::

but I experienced an urge at work once that I really had to fight to suppress.

I had to see a woman who was still having termite problems, and all I was supposed to do was perform an inspection and fill out a report.

Well, this woman was what I call “a talker”. Had to bitch, moan, kvetch and piss about the whole thing, not just once, but over and over and over until I felt an overpowering urge to just take my heavy, black aluminum Maglite and smash her repeatedly in the skull with it.

It had been a long and stressful week.

Oh goodness. Urges I ignore, that may be a short list. I keep my hands off strangers, even if they are really pretty. I wear shoes, even though I prefer bare feet. I don’t shriek at my mom when she says yet another snide comment about how awful my friends are. I don’t play chicken with semi-trucks (wouldn’t that be exciting though?). I wear underware to work. I don’t write phone messages in mirror writing (often) I don’t write e-mail at work.

Most everything I want to do, I do, on the whole. This is called either “childish” or “free” by outsiders depending on what, exactly, I am engaged in.

Whenever I see fat little animals I have an urge to run up and squeeze them! Like doves, chipmunks, rabbits, puppies, things like that.

Sometimes when I’m with a really handsome guy I have the urge to just stop everything I’m doing and pounce on the guy and have my way with him, but I’d probably end up feeling a lot of regret (and have a lot of restraining orders).

When I go to biker rallies or car shows I always want to just jump on in (or on) and ride off into the sunset. Too bad I can’t legally drive either vehicle.

The main one would be, when I’m in school I’ve always wanted to set off the fire drill. It takes all my will to walk by a fire alarm and not touch it. I’m so glad I only have one more year of school…

Whoa, Welfy… that’s almost the same thing I was thinking when I opened this thread! Often, as I walk past the fire alarms at work, I have some half-formed thought about how easy it would be to just yank that little handle… I would never, ever do it, and the only reason I can think of for it being an urge at all is that it’s so totally forbidden. God knows I have no desire to screw with people’s lives by pulling a false alarm!

I have also sometimes had the urge to remove my shirt in public. It’s one particular shirt, with snaps down the front, and I just know I could whip that puppy off like magic. Only I’d get arrested.

I’ve always wanted to do that too…what you do is just wear another shirt under it and then whip the top one off. It lets you carry out your urge without getting in trouble! :^)

When I’m in a tall building, I’m sometimes consumed by the near-overpowering urge to knock out a window and leap. I’m not suicidal or anything, and I am in fact afraid of heights: when I think about being up high like that, I get little tinglies in the back of my calves. But for some reason, I imagine the sensation of falling from a height, the wind on my face, the wall a blur past me, the ground rushing up…

<shudder>

Along similar lines, when I’m on an undivided highway, with high-speed traffic whizzing the other direction just on the other side of a yellow line, I occasionally have the compulsion to yank the wheel over and bash into someone head-on. I have no idea where this urge comes from; it just bubbles up unbidden. I can’t imagine actually acting on it, but, well, there it is.

Non-fatality urge:

When I’m on the bus, and there’s someone in the seat in front of me with long hair, some of which trails over the back of the seat into “my area,” I sometimes wonder what would happen if I put a drop of Krazy Glue on one of the hairs. Not a whole bunch of hair; that would be cruel. No, just one, sticking that delicate filament to the seatback.

Everyday I fight the urge to just walk off when my boss is in the middle of a conversation with me. I would not say a word just turn around and walk off. It seems lately whenever I go to a movie theater there is always someone there either with a cell phone or just talking non stop. I want to walk right in front of them and get right in there face and scream as loud as I can to shut the hell up and then calmly walk off. I answer a lot of complaint calls day after day week after week sometimes I want to just start slamming the phone on my desk as hard as I can about 5 or 6 times and then hang up on them. But I do not do any of those things becaus I don’t want to get fired from my job and I don’t like being beat up.

When I’m out, and I see women holding babies, or obviously pregnant, smoking it drives me crazy. I wanna walk up, snatch the cigarettes out of their mouths, slap them in the face, and make them understand in no uncertain terms how stupid, abusive, and ignorant they are. (Abusive cuz they are blowing smoke in their baby’s face)

I also want to pull the fire alarms.

Sometimes, I get these perverted urges to calmly tell my parents every aspect of my sex life. I have no idea why. I mean, I imagine myself going into minute detail.

At least twice a week I’ll see a woman walking down the street, or on a Metro train with me, whom I want to kiss.

::sigh::

oh, me too! there was this wall in france. on one side it was about four feet off of the street, and we used to sit on it. on the other side was a forty foot drop to concrete. i had the most desperate urge to jump! and whenever i shave my legs i have the most horrible desire to use that razor on my wrists. don’t get me wrong, i’m not suicidal. i really don’t want to kill myself, in fact, i’m morbidly afraid of heights and razors. i have a theory that the fear is a safe-guard against the fascination.

whenever i have something fragile in my hands, like a porcelin doll or statue, i want to squeeze it just to see how much pressure before it breaks. or i want to throw it against the wall just to see it smash. i sometimes do this with clay things i’ve made in art, but i really want to try it on something valuable.

one that would get me arrested: sometimes i really, really, really want to spank one of my students. just bend them over my knee and do what their parents should be doing.

Lord, how did I forget the urge to set off the fire alarms?

I’ve also had the urge to prank call the President.
I’ve had the urge to try and redline my car…to reach the top speed possible for it (Not that it would be that high, but still plenty high enough to get me arrested).

I have the urge to hit people with my mom-mobile. It’s a standard mom-type Jeep Cherokee, but it has a big brushguard, a lift kit & big tires. It’s actually pretty tame for Texas, but almost daily I want to just floor it into someone (smaller than me) in traffic or parking lots ala Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes. They always deserve it, and I love to imagine myself explaining to the police officer why the moron who cut off the ambulance was just begging to be rammed by the mom-mobile of vengeance.
Oh, and I have the urge to moon people. I indulge in neither.

Sea Lemon: I’ve done the redline thing, to the point of blowing the engine (87 Escort GT), and I’ve also done the top speed thing.

First top speed trial, 90 Geo Metro, 1.1L. 90 mph top speed.

Second top speed trial, 89 Dodge Caravan, 3.0L. 110 mph top speed.

Third top speed trial, 88 Escort Pony, 1.9L. 115 mph top speed.

Fourth top speed trial, 87 CK/10, 350 ci. 120 mph top speed.

Fifth top speed trial, 87 Escort GT, 1.9L HO. 135 mph top speed. (Not the time I blew the engine)

Sixth top speed trial, 90 Z24 3.1L. 112 mph top speed, limited. Estimated from tach, ~140 w/o limiter.

All done on deserted, paved, county roads around my house. Who says living in the nearly deserted boonies doesn’t have it’s advantages?

What a great topic. I have all sorts of urges.

My big one though is every time I see a large window, I just want to break it. Today, I was in the Public Defender’s Office in my city (I work there, I’m not a criminal), and they have these huge windows. I pictured myself picking up one of the chairs in the room, and just hurling the bastard out the window. There’s just something so satisfying about the sound of glass breaking.

Sometimes, when I’m messing around with my BF, I have this urge to grab his balls and just SQUEEZE…fortunately for him I have been able to control myself.

Must…control…urge…to…make…joke…about…“fat…little…
animal…which…can…be…squeezed”. (Hey, she’s still a minor)

Does your school library have one of those book detectors that’s similar to those anti theft detectors in bookstores? A favorite trick of my friends was to slip a really thin book in someone’s backpack (thin so he wouldn’t notice) to set off the book alarm.

I controlled that urge, of course (OK, mostly because I was a coward).

I’ve got a lot of urges that, if fulfilled, wouldn’t necessarily lead to jail or the loony bin, so I’ll leave those off…

HOWEVER, I have the same thing with high places. It REALLY freaks me out when I have my baby with me, because it’s agonizing to think of anything happening to him if I go nuts and pitch over while he’s in my arms! Aigh, I will move six feet away or more from a parapet, etc, because it just preys on my mind.

I also would love to yank the wheel over to cut off any jerkwad who tries to run up on a line of stopped or creeping traffic. You know the ones–we’re slowing down to merge, or whatever, and Captain Important uses the shoulder (or the lange we obedient mergers have cleared) to get furhter up in line and then try to cut in again. Alternatively, I’d like to shoot their tires out. Fight that urge all the time.

One of these days I will buy another motorcycle and see if I can beat the old record of 160mph. Once will be enough.

One of these days I will be at a red light and some Dick will start honking the horn the second the light turns green. It will be a bad day for Dick.

One of these days Dick will cut me off in traffic and I will follow Dick home to let him know how much I enjoy locking up the brakes and scaring the crap out of my kids.
