Many of us have had moments where our unsettling gut feelings eerily turned out to be dead-on. It reinforces the notion that when that voice inside you tells you something, you may want to take notice.
These people would know, and they were kind enough to share their “I flipping knew it” moments in this Reddit thread. One was about a hunch about a layoff announcement, while another was a spot-on pregnancy discovery caught from a “vibe.” But as you read, you will see some downright creepy and wrong responses.

My son comes waddling downstairs as im watching game 1 of the world series. Hes not a sports fan like i am. He likes sports but isnt crazy where as i LOVE my Dodgers.
Anyways he waddles his a*s downstairs and casually grabs chips from the pantry and sits down next to me. I hit him with “hey bud you havent watched the entire game and you come down now?” He says “yup. Theyre going to win. Once 2 runners get on, Ohtani is going ti make an out, theyre going to intentionally walk betts and Freeman is going to hit a grand slam”. He proceeds to casually eat his chips. No other words were said by him or me. First pitch freeman grandslam. My son doesnt even stay to watch it. It was so obvious, once it was connected my son just got up and went back upstairs. I was left there speechless

Someone said the ending to Scream 5. He's maybe related to that lol. I worked in a movie theater around the time Shutter Island was coming out. The promos had some "you'll *never* guess the twist" b******t going on, so naturally I took that as a challenge, I'm like "the 'twist' formula has been going on for years and it's always the same s**t, and marketing your movie around having a twist is the most shyamalan thing you could do", and my coworkers took *that* as a challenge, "nah, that's too simple" "it's scorese, you're off your rocker" etc. To me tho, the most likely twist ending seemed obvious.
Fast forward to employee screening in advance of release, sure enough it turned out the way it turned out. Then ppl got mad at me for "spoiling" it. Homies you literally asked what my theory was 💁🏻♀️

Joked about a couple coworkers hooking up. Walked out to my car to leave one day, and they're making out in his car. I wish I was blinded.

Mine might be very different from everyone else’s.
I’m a huge falcons fan. During superbowl 51, when they got a 28-3 lead. I absolutely 100% KNEW they would lose that game. In the 3rd quarter, when our entire sideline was celebrating and essentially congratulating each other on this huge win, the camera panned to Tom Brady on the sideline with his head down in deep thought.
It was then, that I knew we’d find a way to lose that game. Tom became the definition of “locked in”.

I know this is gping to be a contoversial post, but... A few years back, I was promoted and in a position at work to see compensation numbers for my 100-person department within the large mulit-national coporate I worked for. I started to suspect two compensation patterns:
- Employees of a diverse racial background and females who had been hired in the past 5 years were being paid more than their peers
- H1B employees (in particular from India) were being paid considerably less than their peers I however thought maybe it was an abberation in my deptartment.
Fast forward a few years, prior to a mass layoff, an email was accidentally forwarded to me and others containing an attachment that contained *all* comp numbers for the 20k+ employees in our division. A quick analysis showed these patterns were unequvoquely not an abberation. (which was easy to see since everything on the employee was there e.g. DOB, eithnicity, hire date, compensation over past 3 years).
These patterns had, in fact, gotten more pronounced since I'd last seen the smaller data set. There were people who had ostensible the same education and experience brought on making upwards of 30% more for the same role around the same time. It was indisputably clear what was/is happening.

I thought my fiancé was acting strange and thought she was pregnant, but I didn’t talk to her about it. A few days later she sits me down and says it’ll be hard for her to say it and then I pop the question. And I was f*****g right
