All the time, i constantly get urges to ruin peoples things, call 999, just do everything naughty. I can walk past a dog and want to kick it! Or cook pasta and want to put my hand in it. EVERYTHING I DO I GET NAUGHTY URDGES!!!!
IF PPLZ WERE ALWAY MEAN TO PUPPIES, WHY ARE THEIR STILL PUPPIES IN DIS WORLD?
i do this as well. Mostly when i was younger. Once my brother was going to put his hand into the garbage disposal and for whatever reason i was reaching for the switch to turn it on. I have no clue what made me do that.
Or when i would be around knives i would imagine putting one in my eye. Seriously, no joke. I thought i was the only person that did this. Thankfully i don't do these things anymore.
Edgar Allan Poe described these impulses as being the product of "The Imp of the Perverse". That's that part in all of us that gets the desire to do such things.
Ever watch the TV show "Reno 911"? The entire premise is basically police officers actually acting on their "imps of the perverse" at every given opportunity. Perhaps not funny to all, but a good example of how universal those urges are.
I get the urge to randomly yank on my emergency brake when I'm doing 70+ down the interstate. Just to see what it would be like.
Or to leap off of very high places. Not in a suicidal sense at all, but rather in that I think falling would be fun.
On the more benign side I often find myself getting the urge to kiss random girls for no reason, or to drag the next handsome guy I see into an alley and attempt to get him to do me then and there.
Alas, my life is less interesting, though probably longer-lived because I don't act on these urges.
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical... Some men just want to watch the world burn!"
But yes, me too.
Ooooh! I know how you feel...I made a poll about some of my urges Lool ^_^

Anyhow I'm going to list my other urges.
-Sometimes whenever a cute person is talking to me I get the urge to bite their cheek.
-Whenever someone I don't like is talking i want to make the sound of a car alarm.
-Whenever I'm in the back of a huge line I feel like pushing past people and ''rightfully'' taking the front
-Whenever I don't have money I want to take someone else's
-Sometimes I want to punch people in the face. Like hard. Actually I just want to get into a fight with them.
-Sometimes I want to plant my face into my plate of food and eat like that. DO NOT ask me why.
-Sometimes I want to stand in the middle of the road and shake my booty
-Sometimes I want to grab people's neck and strangle them a little
-Sometimes when I see a cute tiny cat I think about it fitting into my mouth (although I really wouldn't do that...thats gross)
You see... I have so many that I'll be here all day. So let me just stop. Like now.
