I just remembered another of these when it came up this morning. I have a great pair of really high spike heels. When I’m waiting to cross the street, I have an almost overwhelming urge to kick out at a car as it goes by and put my heel through the side panel. I know in my mind that this wouldn’t work, but it seems like it would feel so good. Please tell me I’m not the only one?? ---

Not an urge, and please understand that I love my furbaby more than anything, and am an extreme animal lover in general. But sometimes, snuggling with my kitty in the dead of night, I get that troubling thought: “I could kill her soo easily.” ---

> [@Toucanna](#): > > Strawberry milkshakes. About once every two months, I develop an overpowering craving for one. But they have to be high-quality milkshakes with real ice cream and strawberries. Why is this odd? Because I am highly lactose-intolerant. Yes, I pay dearly for my craving, but that’s TMI so I’ll spare y’all the details. 😃 Go to a pharmacy and ask about lactase pills, they’re OTC in many countries (in the US I would find them on the shelves, near the vitamins). Don’t thank me, just think of me the next time you have a consequence-free milkshake 😃 ---

Whenever I see someone approaching and ATM or cashier that I’m approaching, I get the urge to hurry and “beat” them to goal. Not because I’m in a hurry, just because it seems like such a silly thing to do. I never do, 'cause I figure most people won’t view it in good fun, but as mean. ---

In autumn, when there are tidily made piles of fallen yellow leaves under the trees, I want to kick them all over the place. If there’s a musical instrument instrument lying around unattended (in an empty theatre or in a bar), I have an urge to pluck a string or press a key. Also, bubblewraps. ---

> [@Moris](#): > > In autumn, when there are tidily made piles of fallen yellow leaves under the trees, I want to kick them all over the place.. They’re often piled up beside the road around here. I always want to drive through them at high speed, scattering them everywhere and making a ton of work for someone. (But I never have. So far.)
