Mine was having the sudden urge to hurl a random toddler who was teetering over the edge of a waterfall.

    Whenever i have a knife and see a thick electrical wire i have to stop myself from “just testing” what would happen if I cut into it. I work with 400v ac on a construction site a lot and I know what would happen lol.

      I did that accidentaly once. We were visiting Scotland and I tried to point out something and accidentally slapped a woman straight in the face. She just cursed and looked at me strangely and walked away.

        In college I was enjoying some recreational activities at a house party.

        Next to me on a couch was this kid who had like low grade cerebral palsey or something. Like, legitimately, he had those arm crutch things Walter White’s kid had. Never asked what it actually was.

        Anyways, he laughs at something and leans back on the couch. And accidentally does one of those back punches like Bruce Lee. Like, where someone sneaks up behind him and he just hits them with the back of his fist without looking.

        Anyways, dude gets me straight in the nose, doesn’t stop laughing, gets two inches from my face and screams

        You just got punched by a fucking cripple

        And just absolutely died laughing.

        He was a cool dude, and that was probably the only time he’s punched anyone in his life, and it was absolutely an accident. But it was just hilarious how he rolled with it

    I often get the urge to steer into groups of pedestrians and cyclists or knocking over small road signs

    Never did it obviously. my car would not survive that anyway.

    Probs just Tetris effect from the hundreds of hours I spent playing GTA when I was younger. I’d always do that shit

    Toddler related as well. Wanted to slam his face into the edge of the sink until the screaming stops. It was pretty close a few times.

        Always felt like stabbing footballs when practicing juggling. Knowing I felt that kind of anger towards inanimate objects was a big reason not to have kids. Destroying your own property is fine. It’s just property. A kid though…

          It’s a thing.

          Things can literally be “too cute” and it shorts our brains out causing feelings of aggression towards the too cute thing.

          Like, how people talk about eating a babys toes, some people are repeating a saying, some are honestly experiencing the urge to do it because their brains are overloaded with cute.

          Like in Fight Club where Jared Leto was too pretty so Edward Norton bashed his face in.

          It’s not some maladaptive behavior or anything though, it’s just whatever thing you’re looking at is literally too cute for your brain to comprehend.

    I should just go on a road trip again. Every time I get on the highway by myself, and I see that open road, I think about how I could just go and take another road trip.

    Fortunately, I got a trip to the grand canyon lined up for this fall, if all goes well.
