I just thought about if anyone else does this, or if I'm just odd.
Ever since I think around 6th grade, whenever someone would be doing something obnoxious or just annoying, I always picture in my head, whatever they're touching quickly grows spikes out if it and impales the body part touching it.
An example would be someone kicking the back of my chair, I would imagine that the chair shoots a bunch out of it and impales their foot, and retracts back in. And yes, that mental image comes with all the blood and gore.
So does anyone else do anything like this?

I don't imagine that...no.
I do how ever have a mutant power where i can electrify an object just by looking at it, so in school, when someone would be kicking my chair i would end up electrocuting them. I only ended up killing about 3 kids before i figured someone was going to catch on and send me away to be experimented on.

I used to imagine similar stuff as a young kid bored out of my skull in church. Like rockets would shoot out of the pipe organ and the candle sconces would turn into mini flamethrowers. I had quite an imagination then and already a budding dislike for organized religions!

I would imagine objects doing unconventional things or turning into monsters, but not spikes or killing people usually. Just letting my imagination run around artistically for a while.

What I tend to do is imagine having arguments with people... it's amazingly therapeutic, and people in your head always react properly.
It also saves you the hassle of having arguments with people irl..

Truth be told i havnt done exactly this, but i myself do random things like this. Little things i do inside my head.
One thing i do (this is also a physical thing). On a bike path or a walk way when i go walking/running, i try to step one foot in each square of the path as much as i can. And by the square, i mean where it has that little line that tuns across the path.

Well if this is steering towards small compulsions, I sometimes like to "walk" my hand along a guard rail or banister with the index and middle finger as I go along and it's like a little person that has to run to keep up with you!
I also have a habit of assessing whether some building or location has any worth as a defensive structure in case of zombie outbreak. It's completely useless but fun! Like no, that mansion wouldn't work because it has too many large windows close to the ground, but if somebody parked vans in the entrance to that apartment and blocked it off, it could potentially hold and the inner courtyard could become a garden. Hey this is teh interwebz so be proud of your geekiness!

Oh holy crap! I do that everywhere I work! I generally assess for short term avoidance rather than long-term stay. For example I worked a temp job at a place that made prefab shelving units and stuff and I had a route planned where I would pocket my water bottle, grab an improvised weapon, and run thirty feet to where the pallets of laminated boards were waiting. One quick easy climb later, I'm twenty feet above the slavering hoards, fairly mobile across a chunk of the warehouse, and have heavy stuff to drop on them if need be.
Of course the best option was the nuclear power plant I worked in. Supplies, water, power, secure location, armed guards. Hoorah.

My most defensible job was a huge brick factory- acres of yard with huge pallets of brick loads thirty feet high and nearly impossible to push over and fork trucks to move them with. Just make a huge rectangular fort with the stacks. I tell you guys, The Zombie Survival Guide changed my life! Of course if it got really bad, I'd go to the Ozarks in Arkansas with all it's mountains, hills and caves in a rural location.

Did this all the time walking to school, my sister would go mental at me, I blame her for telling toddler me if you step on a crack u'll break your back.

I totally do this all the time
On the spikes in feet front, I never did that. Instead I used to imagine I could make people halucinate that I'd turned into somekinda Daemon with fire everywhere so they'd go crazy and start screaming in front of everyone whilst i sit innocently looking bemused with everyone else.... Spikes would have been easier methinks.
Best place to go in Zombie apocalypse is the moors near me. High ground, loads of visability, huge tors with caves n stuff.... in the middle of nowhere so there would be a low zombie count anyway, hang out there for as long as supplies can keep u then hope the zombies are either starved or been killed by tactical missile strikes

I think the best place for a zombie apocolypse where I live would be the highschool. We can lock all the doors, they shouls have a seemingly endless supply of microwaveable cookies to eat. And if all else fails we can go into the basement. That is enormous, and has 1 entrance that is a really thick metal door. Also there are lots of escape spots and we can use the asbestos as a deadly weapon!
