47 Times People Trusted Their Instincts And Avoided Major Regret

I was away on World Challenge in Nicaragua with my school and I was staying in a room with 4 other girls. One of the girls was sleeping in a bed parallel to these huge french doors. Anyway, I had a dream that one of the doors fell onto this girl and I woke up and sat up and looked at the doors. I noticed that it was leaning slightly and as I watched it started to fall.

I have never moved so fast in my life, but I got across the room basically in one huge bound and caught the door a couple of inches from her face. (She was unhurt, just a bit shocked as to why I was suddenly next to her holding up a door)

I still think about it sometimes.

We were (very) young and stupid. We were at a friend's house, just hanging out. My friend was intoxicated but my head was clear, I never drink. My friend started to act way out of controle, more than what alcool alone would do. Our "friends", older guys, had called their 2 neighbors to come and hang out too... 1 of them started to fool around with her and tried to do the same with me. Another one went for the door to lock it... and I freaked the f**k out! Slapped the guy who was trying to mess with my, then almost passed out friend, grabbed her hand and headed for the door, screeming like a freaking banshee to let us leave. In 20 sec. we were out of there. I left my backpack behind, everything... That was 20 years ago and I will never forget the feeling of urgency that took over me to get the f**k out!

I had been dating someone for several months and I was never the type to go through my significant others phone, but they had gone to take a shower and left their phone open on the bed and I was like hmmm why not. And I had other opportunities previously to go through their phone but never did because that’s just not my thing and for whatever reason this time something in my gut was like you need to look through their phone. Sure enough find them cheating on me in about five seconds lol. It was so crazy. I put the phone down in disbelief because the person I was with was my best friend for a long time prior to dating so I thought I could really trust them you know. Lol but now it’s just f****d with my head years later with other relationships, I feel like I can’t trust anyone although I know not everyone is the same.

I used to date this guy that lived down the street from the bars. One night he and his roommate and I walked down to one of the bars for dinner and drinks. Around 11:00 we started walking back to their house. We were approaching an intersection and there was a young guy walking towards the same intersection from the other street. He just seemed off; not dressed to go out, kind of in a hurry, I don’t know. I just had this weird feeling about him. I started walking really fast so that I would be across the street and further down by the time he got to the intersection. My boyfriend asked what I was doing and ran to catch up. We heard a noise behind us and the guy was mugging my husband’s roommate at gunpoint.

So now I take that little voice in my head seriously.

My ex-girlfriend and I were driving home late at night from a concert. It was about a three hour drive, so it was probably somewhere around 2AM. It was mid-January and was snowing pretty heavily. She was going around 70mph. I don't know why, but I asked her to slow down. She slowed to around 35mph and not a minute or two later we had to slam on our brakes because there was a semi jack-knifed across both lanes. The brakes locked up and we slid through the slush and only stopped about 15 feet short of the trailer. If I hadn't asked her to slow or if she hadn't listened, I would have likely been a head shorter.

Being single at the time, I was supposed to be going on this date with this guy named Posé thru Tinder. He was black and a marine and very cute. I cancelled because he wanted s*x on the first date and I wasn’t into that. Couple months later, he gets picked up by the police for having s*x with someone who is underage. Creepy thing is: I look underage for my age.

Not my story but it’s a good one

When my best friend’s mom was young (high school I think) her parents were evangelical Christians who felt called to do all they could to help the less fortunate. They were very active and outgoing in doing this. One day, her sister (my friend’s aunt) came across an elderly homeless woman and asked if she needed help. She ended up driving the woman to their home so she could do her laundry. After the homeless woman had done her laundry and went on her way, my friend’s aunt’s dad (my friend’s grandfather) told her not to bring that lady to the house anymore and to not have any more interaction with her. He couldn’t explain it but he had a bad feeling about her. The very next week the family saw a story in the newspaper and learned that that same elderly homeless woman had stabbed someone else who was helping her because the voices in her head told her to.
