    If I'm walking past someone who is tying their shoelaces, it's all I can do to stop myself from kicking them over sideways using the flat of my foot. Very hard to resist!

    I sometimes get the urge to jump from very great heights. Like if I'm on a 7th floor balcony looking over I'd be thinking I should jump. Not to kill myself, just to jump. It's very scary and probably why I'm scared of heights.

    Was getting on an escalator in Newbridge shopping centre when a Father & son were getting on the Dad got on just before his son but the son was having second thoughts so with some trepidation he put his first foot on carefully then panicked as half of him started down the stairs, his Dad didn't notice until he was almost at full splits, luckily I was there and was able to stop chuckling long enough to help him on properly, being the hero that I am. :cool:

    I wouldn't get the urge to jump, but I'd often think with heights "oh god what if I fell" and imagining some poor mangled mess on the ground. I actually love heights, but I like there to be a decent size barrier between me and the drop, so there's no chance whatsoever of falling (even when I've hung off Dún Aengus cliffs at 300ft and still not fallen, but there's the human reasoning for ya :P

    I'd love to kick the shìt out of a chimp.........dunno why, just would love to get in a good scrap with one.

















    Though the reality would be him tearing strips off me and chewing my face off.............with the final insult being him flinging his own poo at whatever pieces of me are left / uneaten.

    I get weird urges like that all the time.

    Think my last one was to smack a child across the head. just a random child near me when I was out. No reason.
    I get that all the time. Like punching a random old woman in the face for no reason.

    Yeah i get the urge to push people off escalators the whole time. Am petrified I'll end up in a pile up on an escalator, caused by some twat who stays on it till the last minute:(. Reckon this stems from childhood, when I asked this girl why her legs were mangled and she said she fell on an escalator:eek:

    In fairness, most children in shopping centres or anywhere else there's escalators tend to get a bit excited and behave like headless chickens. A good slap would keep them in line. :pac:

    While this is true, I didn't actually see this child in a shopping centre and/or near an escalator.

    Ya. Well generally old people are exempt from my random urges but my brain makes up for it with enough other blameless people.

    Especially if its an old person. I sometimes do the stabbing in back motion if I can't get past them and they won't budge.

    Let's face it, someone as old as an old woman must have done something to deserve a punch.

    When I got seriously bored in my old job, I would place a sticker on the one of the steps on the escalator. When the step came into view, I would try and stare at the sticker until it reached the top. I once spent 20 minutes doing this - it's oddly satisfying.

    Has anyone ever had to clean the sides of the escalator? It's a lot of fun - you sit on the steps with a spray bottle and cloth and pretty much ride the escalator, which I also spent half an hour doing another day.

    Gee, escalators are so much fun.

    Weird topic OP. If it's someone I know and I don't like them, it'll probably pop into my head though. :D

    I must admit I do often get the urge to ram taxi drivers off the road. They're always bullying me into letting them out of bus lanes etc and they're gonna cause me an accident some day!

    Also soccer moms on mobile phones while driving their X5's, I very often want to get out, smash the windows, take the phone and stamp on it.

    See that's all perfectly understandable, even if someone's just in your way or something, but the urges I get are for no reason at all. hmm my friend says he thinks these things too sometimes, like the same - for no reason at all.

    All of the above and I have always wanted to sit in a bell tower with a sniper rifle and watch peoples heads explode..........

    I used to think these things were not normal but because of this thread I suddenly feel as sane as the next Boardsie. Must go clean the 303.

    Watch them spin and whirl with exitement.
