Mine was having the sudden urge to hurl a random toddler who was teetering over the edge of a waterfall.

At my last workplace there was a central staircase with a gap in the middle through the whole building.

I very often had an intrusive thought of jumping down 4 stories.
It came even more often when one of the lights inside this gap started flickering and I could have taken it down with me.

I get that urge time I use a helical staircase with a human (or larger) sized central air gap. I think it's a niche form for High Place Phenomenon... maybe because I watched too much Batman (TAS) as a kid.
