Daft joke, huge row

Changed my name for this as I'm a bit embarrased Blush Last night me and DP were at the train station and he was talking to one of the station workers about a trains arrival time, for some stupid reason I had this massive urge to poke DP in the eye and I could'nt control it, I poked him in the eye for a laugh but he was furious as I showed us both up in front of the station man, DP then stormed off and the station man gave me a funny look and everyone was looking at us. Dp hasnt spoken to me since, I was just trying to have a laugh but I realise that what I did was wrong but DP says he is sick of how childish I am and he said he's had enough. I dont know why I do these things, I just get huge urges to do stupid things sometimes, I have done ever since been little.

My mum said I was in the wrong and should change the way I am but my friend says it sounds like DP is just being grumpy (which he is alot of the time), how would your DP's have reacted in this situation? What should I do/say? I cant promise him Ill never do something like this again.

Oh yes there have been a few about uncontrollable urges lately haven't there? Of course even if they are all from the same person, it could be someone genuinely worried and seeking information.

I think it's best to act as if people's concerns are genuine, unless the threads they start are causing huge disruption, which this obviously isn't. Even if this person is not genuine, other people who want to ask for help may be watching, and are never going to dare post anything if we all jump on every new / odd poster shouting "troll".

It's hardly surprising your DP is grumpy a lot of the time if that's your idea of fun. Poking someone in the eye "for a laugh" is something that most of us learn is inappropriate by the time we're two years old - and I can't see many people thinking it's a good, fun way to treat someone you're meant to care about.

If this is genuine, and this is seriously something you do that you can't control (rather than something you do because you're a cruel and nasty person) then you need help.

I nearly pmsl at this but then thought what if it were a woman posting about how her husband tried to poke her in the eye for a laugh and got cross as she didnt see it as a joke? Not so funny then.

although I still think this must be a joke thread.

miniminx · 02/06/2006 13:44

Not sure if this a joke thread - maybe. I woke up in the middle of the night last night chuckling about it and dh thought I'd lost it.

But I can relate to having inappropriate thoughts from time to time - usually when I'm feeling a bit socially anxious, eg., wouldn't it be awful if I did X. Maybe this is just an extension of that - she not only has a fleeting inappropriate thought, but then instinctively acts on it without having the chance to think about whether it's a good idea.

A bit like tourettes or something.

Is that it, Whitecroc?

If it really is just that you have an SOH which gets on everyone's nerves, then knock it on the head, eh?

Otherwise maybe you could talk to your GP about it.

Hollyboo · 02/06/2006 14:18

I'm sorry but I'm still pmsl.
Although if it was me I would be seriously worried about myself!!!! It's such a strange thing to do. Whitecroc were you getting him back for giving you a wedgy in the supermarket??

nailpolish · 02/06/2006 14:25

MrsBadger · 02/06/2006 14:33

what is a wedgie?

Hollyboo · 02/06/2006 19:05

A wedgy is when someone grabs hold of your underwear at the back and yanks them up really hard. Never had one but I imagine is pretty uncomfortable.

zippitippitoes · 02/06/2006 19:24

ah right..Smile
