Purge the urge..
A great article about all of those strange urges you get that you can't explain. Like jumping off of a ski lift or a building, swerving into oncoming traffic, throwing your blackberry into the ocean, yelling out loud in the middle of a church service or at the movie theatre..

go and list your own perverse urges XD
here is a list of mine:
Every time I drive my car and stop at a red light, I feel like stomping on the gas pedal and driving into oncoming traffic to see if I would make it through to the other side, or be smashed by the cars.
When I'm driving on the freeway, I get the urge to yank the wheel as hard as I can to see if my car will flip.
When walking in the grocery store and there are people in front of you walking really slowly or blocking the aisle with their cart I feel like ramming my cart into the back of their heels or ramming their carts with mine.
Whenever I am close to a cop I feel like reaching out and touching their gun or trying to grab it just to see what they would do.
Sometimes when I'm talking to someone I get the urge to slap them in the face as hard and I can and then keep talking like nothing happened.
When I'm with friends and they answer their cellphones or start texting I get the urge to grab their phone, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it until it breaks into little pieces. One time I was around a campfire with a friend who began texting and I had a hard time stopping myself from throwing her phone into the fire.
There are probably more strange urges that I can't think of now.. yes.. I am weird. I think the weirder thing is that I'm not the only one who gets those urges.
