Maybe it’s evolution, maybe it’s psychology, or maybe (most likely) it’s something we’ll never understand about the human brain – but whatever the reason, these 11 weird impulses will make you raise your eyebrows…or nod in solidarity.

11. Makes perfect sense!

10. We’re competitive by nature.

9. Because…you’re still not sure. Ha!

8. Stage fright!

6. Because if you never see them they can’t kill you.

5. Same, but because I’m afraid someone died.

4. Okay but that’s just rude.

3. Never let your guard down.
