I would never do it, but I'd be lying if I said I've never thought about it. Legit, every time I'm watching any show where a baby is just born, there is always a scene where someone asks if they could hold the baby.

I ALWAYS play out a scene in my head where the carrier just drops the baby on its head in front of the mother. And the baby dies, which makes this the mother's greatest regret. And the person who was holding onto the baby, imagine how they'd feel! Neither would be able to get a wink of sleep... The mother would forever think "why did I let them hold my baby?" Meanwhile the baby-murderer would now think, "I absolutely ruined a woman's life and killed her child..."

But it never happens on TV. They just look at that wrinkled glob of a human and make coochie-coochie-coo sounds or something. And I gotta admit, I get a little disappointed for the show not taking that dark turn. After all, we need something new and refreshing to watch.

Just curious. Do you have OCD?

@SW-User With a few things, but nothing insanely major. When I'm adjusting the volume on my tv, I need the digits of the volume to be something that either adds up or multiplies to something that ends with a 0 or 5 digit. So I can't really have my volume at 26, but I can have it at either 23 or 28.

@LookingForSomethingNew I think your thought about dropping babies is part of that too. 😅 You talk like someone I knew who had OCD, but her stray thoughts were more violent and not about babies. Just the way you talked about it reminded me of her.

@SW-User Only other person I've heard that had similar thought processes was the comedian Bill Burr. He has violent thoughts he shares on standup. One of the lesser violent thoughts was finding a guy up on a ladder and shaking the ladder like crazy :P Again, we'd never do that stuff, but soooooo many scenarios flies through our heads regarding ways to ruin someone's day.

@LookingForSomethingNew I love Bill Burr. But, yeah, you even went into detail about how it would ruin everyone’s lives in the aftermath. That’s a lot to think on when it didn’t happen.

@SW-User Happy to know you sorta get what I'm talking about! His entire "punching muffins" joke was the biggest thing I've ever related to in my life. Even to the extent that he thought about the aftermath and laughed about it. When I first heard that joke, I was happy knowing there were other people who laughs at random stupid shit that comes outta their head.
