I get impulses to open the fridge ALL THE TIME. I will be putting away dinner dishes, complaining of how stuffed I am, and then I'll wander to the fridge. It gets even worse when my roommate is watching the food network. Or if I am bored. Or upset. O really happy... you get the idea.

Also, sometimes I just can't help but want to bite someone while I am talking to them. Not because I am angry, just because. I am pretty good at holding back on that until we are close friends, and I rarely do it in public. See ya guys at GenCon!

You ever get a song stuck in your head? I had the Free Credit Report pirate song in my head for 3 days running. I couldn't make it stop. It was driving me crazy(er).

I used to get what I called "Socially Unacceptable" impulses.

I was sitting in a friend's office when his phone rang. While he was talking, I had the almost uncontrollable urge to reach across the desk and hit the button to hang up the phone. Not because I wanted him to get off of it, just because.

Another time, when I was in my grade 11 Physics class, my teacher was leaning on the desk in front of me, which was unoccupied. I barely repressed the urge to "nudge" the desk, just to shake him up a bit. Not maliciously, I quite liked him as a teacher.

Mine's more of a habit than an impulse, but for some reason I carry around the last napkin I used from a meal for hours afterward (provided it's a paper napkin). I don't even realize I'm doing it half the time. I'll look down and realize I have a folded napkin tucked in the crook of my palm and remember that I had lunch over an hour ago.

Weird.

I waggle the stick shift in my car from side to side multiple times whenever I shift out of gear. It started as a simple way of making sure it was definitely out of gear with one simple wobble to one side, and it sort of grew from there.

I also tap the button on the e-brake whenever I'm sitting at a stop light.

I don't generally even notice that I do it. I never even caught myself tapping the button on the brake handle until someone asked me why I did it.

I learned to drive on a '69 VW Beetle. My mom used to waggle the shifter too, and I picked up that habbit. I also click the break release button in and out.

When street folk shake their cups-o-coins at me I am always tempted to slap it out of their hands.

Like this:

On one forum recently (I've looked but can't find the posts) someone typed: It's unxpliceble!

Later in the thread someone else quoted him and wrote: I hate to correct people but your spelling is really bad it should be: It's unexplicable.

I get the urge to buy books from Amazon all the time after hearing them being recommended on TV or podcasts. Thank heavens for wish lists. I can put my potential purchases there until the urge to buy them fades.

I click the e-brake button in my car too, except I also do it when moving. It makes my wife nervous because she thinks I'm about to pull the e-brake and do a powerslide. So far I've contained that impulse.

Sorry, I tend to only get sleep-depriving impulses when something is wrong. I don't have any OCD or anxiety, but I can count twice where I was lying in bed wide awake, knowing there was only one thing I could do to put my mind at ease. *marches to his computer with his pants down*
Lol j/k. I made a funny see?
Video games can do that to me. I'll lie in bed and something will come back to me. A boss I couldn't beat or puzzle that defeated me, and I'll know how to beat it. I can't sleep until I do. That count?

I click a lot while I'm reading something on the Internet. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have an incredibly hard time sitting still. If I move my legs while sitting down it bothers my GF so she's learned to deal with the clicking of the mouse. Usually it's the right mouse button so I bring up the menu. If I'm showing someone something on the internet I'll pretend I did it by accident as I can't ... not ... click!

Sometimes it occurs to me that it would be abslutely terrible if all my keys fell in the river or a drainpipe, immidiately followed by an urge to throw them in there.

I also regularly get the urge to climb back up to my third-floor apartment instead of taking those boring old stairs, especially when drunk. It looks like it'd be *just* doable.

I don't know if this is an odd impulse or a nervous habit or my own little OCD twitch or what, but when eating a sandwich from, say, Subway, I feel the need to eat all the lettuce that falls off said sandwich. It gets annoying.

My roommate and I did the same thing. He was a rock climber and he kind of taught me also. We would scale the campus buildings and leave flags, banners, other stupid things.

The students kind of got a kick out of it. Maintenance hated us since they had to take it down
After a while people kind of figured out it was us, maybe it was all the rock climbing gear in our room and someone seeing us make that banner that was up the next morning.

Fortunately most of the security was students and friends. Who would turn a blind eye to us. They would casually bring up the times and locations they would do their rounds so that they could always just miss us.

Although one of my friends decided to prank the pranksters a bit and "caught" us one night. He came out with a light and a microphone with a voice modulator.
He shined the light on me from down below and shouted "Freeze". I was scared, with a big scary voice and a blinding light in your face, who wouldn't be. I was thinking “Aww man, I just got expelled”. Then my friend said "Man, that’s a big bird and walked away."

Again, fun but stupid. Yup just Stupid fun. The best kind

Does that mean you own the campus now?
