You know that urge to do so something silly but stop yourself?

(166 Posts)

I've had a few lately.

Today on the bus, had to stop myself rubbing the man in front of me's head. I was very short shaven and looked very rubable.

I also have this overwhelming one to smash my ipad in half over my knee to see if it will indeed break in half.

Used to get them when younger where I'd want to put my foot over a moving car/bicycle wheel to see if it would hurt, never did it though.

Anyone else get these urges?

My very pregnant bladder is struggling to cope with this thread, especially the baby/mixing bowl episode. I think I would have just done it!

My silly urges are boring, like staying on the bus/train to its terminus, rather than getting off at my stop

When I sit opposite someone on the tube or a bus I have the urge to kick their shins.

As soon as somebody stands next to me I want to kiss them, it's only if they are to the side of me though and it would have to be a full on kiss too, completely inappropriate 99% of the time.Sidge I also think about having sex with random men! It makes the day move a lot quicker!

I always feel the need to jump off high places .

And kiss anyone stood close to me .

And throw babies when I hold them - or when someone passes me one just kinda go - oops and let them fall through my hands .

I have never done any of the above though - I can fight the urge !

If someone is sitting in front of me on the bus wearing a hat, I get the urge to take it off their head and put it on mine.

I work in a cafe and often get the urge to take a bite out of someones sandwich before giving it to them.

Cigar cutter - luckily it doesn't come out very often but when it does I have an urge to put my finger in it.

Kiss - when standing talking to someone, wonder what would happen if I leant forward and kissed them. No sexual attraction necessary, just curious really.

When the cat yawns I put my finger in his mouth to surprise him. I've done that to DP before too grin

Often have the urge to snip my fingers with scissors.

Always want to jump in front of the tube too.

I get the urge to nip people. I sometimes end up nipping myself as I want to do it so bad blush

I was standing towards the back of a crowded lift. There was a man in a suit in front of me & for some reason, it occurred to me that he was so close that if I wanted to, I could touch him with my tongue.

Then I stuck my tongue out and licked his jacket.

As soon as I did it, reality kicked back in. I don't think anyone else in the lift noticed.

To jump in front of the fast train at my station every morning sad (it whizzes straight through on the way to Lahndahn).

I won't do it.

I often want to jump off of bridges to see whether I would fly hmm
When I was younger I often wanted to sharpen my finger into a point with a pencil sharpener. When I finally tried it, it surprisingly didn't work, although I did end up turning up late for school with a bandaged finger. I've never had the urge to do it since then, though.

I get the 'what if I kissed that person' thought quite a lot, then I imagine doing it and get confused. I also get the urge to smash my iPad or drop it in the bath.

I was sat on the bus behind a man with really impressive dreads.

I had to sit on my hands as I had the urge to plait them.

Lol at licking the lift man grin

I can't believe the things you lot do to your cats! If I tried that with my cat she would have my fucking arm off.

As I child I couldn't resist putting my finger on the (white hot) cigarette lighter in the car.
I also fight the urge to put other things in a letter box when posting a letter; car keys, shopping list, Tesco club card. Wierd.

CalpolInMyEar Wed 27-Feb-13 20:04:24

I have these as well, mainly involving touching people in some way, the top of their head or the side of their face.

I don't look down open stairwells anymore because the urge to jump frightens me. This one actually worries me about other people, both that they might jump and that I might push them.

I too get the urge to bite people, particularly my DH and DS. Sometimes I just gum them instead, but it's not the same.

EllaFitzgerald Wed 27-Feb-13 20:11:56

I get these all the time. If someone rides past me on a bike and I'm carrying an umbrella, I'm always tempted to poke it through the wheel spokes (which looks a lot worse written down than it feels when I'm thinking it!)

I will often get an urge to sniff people (who look like a lovely sniff). I usually resist.

Once at a concert I sat behind a musical legend and personal hero. I took 2 sniffs and he smelt lovely. <memorable> grin

Shakey1500 Wed 27-Feb-13 20:14:30

These are hilarious grin

Also experience the urge to throw myself off high buildings/bridges/

Have come "this close" to blurting out something really inappropriate in a meeting. I really have to bite my cheeks!

shhhgobacktosleep Wed 27-Feb-13 20:21:52

somethingaboutnothing I do bite my poor husband but wasn't going to admit that grin

almostanotherday Wed 27-Feb-13 20:35:08

I normally get the urge to throw the cup I am drinking out of but I'm normally in a restaurant when I get that urge and then I look around figure out which wall would be best to chuck it at grin

TrinityRhino Wed 27-Feb-13 20:37:07
