There are those moments during one’s life where your hair stands on end for a moment because something in your brain is screaming “danger.” As it turns out, our good, old survival instincts are there for a reason, but if you still don’t entirely trust yours, it can be helpful to hear from others.
Someone asked “When was a time where your quick thinking likely saved you or a friend from a dangerous situation?” and people shared their stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your own stories in the comments section down below.

Man inspecting handbags and luggage at a street market, showcasing quick reactions preventing a tragedy in busy area.
Me and my mom were at a market, and some of the men who were selling were really creepy. This one guy told us that he had "more shoes and bags" in another location, so we followed him (idk why we did). We went in this elevator and we were gonna enter the room (I guess it was an apartment, like an apartment and the market was on the ground floor). Something seemed really off, cause nobody else was going there, and it looked dark inside the apartment, so I told my mom we have to go back downstairs and leave right away.

I really think we would have gotten @ssaulted or m*rdered if we went inside.

Quick thinking in other cases when I have been harassed was running. I run really fast when I'm scared so I just ran like my life depended on it.
