One netizen asked the internet, “People who let their intrusive thoughts win once, what did you do?”—and folks weren’t shy about sharing what happened when they caved to their cognitive chaos. Dive into this collection of our favorite responses.

I threw a bottle out the window without thinking when driving and stopped my car to clean it up because I felt bad.

Good for you, OP. If more people took their mess home instead of strewing it any way but which, our world might be cleaner.

About a month ago, I *thought* I had everything secure in the back of the pickup truck for the trash station but when I got there, a box that was full of Styrofoam pieces was mostly empty. They were in the box to keep them from blowing out. I picked up what I could find but it wasn't enough so I picked up random Styrofoam from the side of the road until I felt the balance was restored.

Still that was an accident, not physically throwing it out the window.

As a teen I thought cleaners were paid by the mess or something and actively didn't clean up after myself. Dunno how I ended up with that misconception but that meant I also thought the neighbor who liked to pick up trash on her walks was a loony. Sorry Mrs. Rajala.

Set fire to my father's newspaper. While he was reading it.
I was about 5 years old so that was nearly 80 years ago, and a 40-psge broadsheet in those days was a substantial fuel load.
ETA: Dropped this without thinking much, came back two-thirds of a day later to find it my most upvoted comment in years. More importantly, I've got vast enjoyment and amusement out of your replies, and no. I didn't consider any of them condescending. I fully intend to live for another century or so.
No, I didn't get beat or whipped. I was never physically punished, something rather remarkable, looking back. I did get a stern lecture from my mother, of the "more disappointed than angry" type.
Must have worked, because it curbed (but did not totally cure) my youthful pyromaniac tendency.

I burned my dad with a 4th of July sparkler in the 80’s. It was almost diabolical, however I somehow transformed into a benevolent forest fairy with a magic wand. I took my wand (burning, crackling, now-prohibited-in-my-city flaming torch) and touched it upon his arm, thus enchanting him with the festive spirit of ‘76 and he was now, probably, going to be happy. WHAT DID end up happening was a second-degree burn and a lot of curse words only an drunk ex-Navy sailor turned auto mechanic would dare to say in front of the neighbors and me, the magical 6-year-old fairy. Reality was fleeting for that split-second. I’m now a nurse and I guess I can relate well to patients who do stupid stuff and end up hurt. My bedside manner is now primo. Sorry, Dad.

My parents had a blender I’d use every day to make a smoothie, and it always slowed down with ice, I was annoyed at it not being powerful enough to just smash it. I thought “I bet I’d be able to stop it with my finger if I pushed down on the middle bit”.
Honestly even typing it out 30 years later feels stupid. I didn’t lose any fingers but the end of one of them is all scar tissue and I can’t feel anything in the end of two fingers. So in a way I’m like a superhero. In another, more accurate way I’m an idiot.

Ever had an intrusive thought? You know, those sudden outlandish ideas that pop into your head uninvited. Think: “What if I run this red light?” or “What if I yell in this quiet room?” Most people have them, and they’re totally normal—but they can be disturbing, especially when they’re violent, inappropriate, or go against your core values.
Intrusive thoughts often feel like they come out of the blue. You might be chopping vegetables and suddenly imagine hurting someone or picture slapping your boss at the same time you’re hugging them. Not to worry, you’re not crazy—our brains just have a weird sense of humor, and intrusive thoughts are its awkward punchlines.

Not my intrusive thought but when I was a kid my friend and I were sitting in a sauna when he said "what would happen if I p**s on the hot rocks" and it turns out it just makes the entire complex smell like burnt p**s and permanently bans you from the pool.

My sister did that and spent ten years in the Pacific (mostly French Polynesia).
Too many thoughts like these have been linked to anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and even depression. They're not dangerous (unless you believe they are) but the fear of having them—or what they “say” about you—can be disturbing. However, spoiler alert: having an odd thought doesn’t mean you’ll act on it or that it reflects who you really are.
In fact, resisting or overthinking intrusive thoughts tends to make them louder. It’s like someone yelling, “Don’t think of a pink elephant!”—suddenly, you’re thinking of nothing but pink elephants. Mental health experts agree trying to suppress the thought only gives it power, but observing it without judgment helps it fade on its own.

There was a tube of mayonaise laying on the path near our local lake. Closed cap and still completely full and all.
I was ten years old, didn’t think twice and just jumped as high as i could, landing with two feet on that tube, causing a 3 meter string of mayonaise flying around. It was busy at that moment, but no one got mayonaised. There was a long trail of mayonaise on the path, and I was extremely proud.
It’s of the few memories I have in which I wasn’t always thinking about what others might have thought. And one of the even fewer memories in which a stupid thing occurred, and when looking back at it now, I’m not having any regrets.

I remember having finished drinking a juice box as a kid and I blew up the empty box with as much air as I could and then placed it on the ground, in front of my swing set. I got on a swing and was swinging as high as I could go, while keeping an eye on the bloated juice box. As I was swinging back, I would jump from the highest point and land on the juice box to hear it explode. The good ole days.

I had a brand new can of expando-foam that was jammed. So I shot it. I was expecting a much bigger result - what I wound up with was a large yellow blob with a trail of expando-foam dots going back. All in all, it was still pretty satisfying.

I was once the victim of such a thought/act. A young lad in front of me came upon a discarded single serving Ribena carton with the straw still in on the pavement and stomped it on impulse. Unfortunately it still had Ribena in it, which squirted out the straw and all down my leg. I'm not generally a cross person, but I yelled at him. Bless him, he turned around and was horrified when he realised what he'd done. He couldn't apologise enough, and I felt bad for shouting so angrily at him. I told him it was fine and that I'd yelled because I was surprised.

This is going to the self harm territory. Not the bp use euphemism for self unalive but the intentional harm to oneself for a kind of release. I had that problem.
Sometimes, though, people give into these thoughts—that’s when it gets dangerous. Most of us don’t act on them, but in rare cases where someone has poor impulse control, intense distress, or mental health issues, they might. Intrusive doesn’t always mean harmless. Recognizing that line is key to keeping yourself (and others) safe.
The good news? There are tools for managing intrusive thoughts. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and exposure response prevention (ERP) are proven to help. Instead of spiraling into panic, these methods teach your brain to say, “Yep, weird thought. Moving on.” It's almost like background noise instead of a blaring alarm.

I licked the back wall of an empty fridge, got my tongue stuck, panicked, and then pulled my head back and ripped off the tip of my tongue. Bleeding prufusely, my grandfather gave me a cup of warm saltwater to soak it in. Ouch.

I'm guessing a freezer rather than a fridge. Unless the fridge walls hadn't been cleaned for years and were stickier than glue.

Old fridges often had a cold plate all the way down the back. It would be substantially colder than the air temp in the fridge, often freezing things left too close to it. So it's plausible as described.

So, what should you do when an intrusive thought shows up? First, breathe. Second, label it. Third, remind yourself that a thought is not a plan or desire. It’s mental static, and you are not your thoughts, even if they’re violent. If they persist to the point of rumination, a licensed therapist can help you unpack what’s going on.
Bottom line: intrusive thoughts are part of the human experience. They don’t mean you’re broken or bad. They’re just a reflection of how complex and creative our brains can be—even if they’re sometimes a little too creative!

Officially cakes. The VAT (consumer tax in UK) rules were clarified in court. Weirdly, cakes don’t have the tax (as they aren’t a “luxury”!), and neither do regular biscuits. But chocolate biscuits do attract VAT. So the manufacturers were keen o having them declared as cakes to keep the price down.

So. Growing up, my parents never microwaved metal. But had never explained why. It never occurred to me to ask. I just thought it was part of who they are. So in college I did it, cause I learn best by doing. It sparked. I stopped the microwave. I told someone. Yeah apparently people aren't supposed to do that. I haven't done it since btw. So I did experiment in college. Just not in the traditional, human sexuality, social sense. I've also powered on one of my phone's k**l switches. Something else I haven't done since.

Almost got creamed a few times being a pedestrian. About to skip across the street and I stopped and pulled back at the last minute. Just missed a giant pickup truck. Another time, different city, I was crossing the street and got stuck in the middle between city traffic. Didn't get hit in the head with a car mirror, but I did scare the driver of one car.

Agree, ending up vomiting is not right. One of mine, the orangie, liked serious play. Including nerf darts. I would intentionally miss while we ran around the house chasing each other. Orangies need a lot of play. Trust me, I was good with a .22 semi and a .22 bolt action (at a firing range so it was definitely an intentional miss.) He would quit before I did. Then it was treats and snuggles. We also played mousey baseball. I'd toss little rattley mice at him and he would bat them back, and I'd toss them right back at him. Cats are very playful, but spinning them until they vomit is not right.
