What do you do when you have a gut feeling, pandas? Do you brush it off and hope for the best? Or immediately follow the inexplicable sensation telling you not to do something?
It can sometimes be difficult to determine what’s a gut instinct versus what’s simply nerves (or even bad leftovers). But it’s best not to ignore what your body tries to tell you. You just might end up saying “I knew it” later down the line.
Redditors have been recalling times when their instincts were spot on, so we’ve gathered some of their best stories below. From having a feeling that a partner is cheating or that it wouldn’t be wise to hitch a ride with that seemingly friendly stranger, enjoy reading all about these times when people’s intuition was on their side. And keep reading to find a conversation with writer Susanna Newsonen!

That he was the one after a disastrous first date.
He picked me up and we went to a local walking park. After returning to his car it wouldn't start. We both had to walk home and just as I said well at least it's not raining the heavens opened, I was soaked through by the time I got home
I got back home not expecting to hear from him again but he rang me when he got home and started the conversation with "I bet you've never been that wet on a first date before" we both laughed it off and been stuck with eachother since.

I confronted my bf that he was cheating on me. He repeatedly said “I haven’t been with another woman since I met you.” I know, I said. I continued with the allegation. He kept insisting “no other woman since I met you.” Over and over until.
It clicked.
He stopped talking. I saw it in his eyes. He knew I knew.
We were talking about men, not women.

Mine is milder than a lot on here, but when I put on some shapewear and it made my insides feel funny. I had had a tubal four years before, and my husband and I had only had sex once in the previous few months (depression on my part), so he and my sister kept telling me there was no way, especially since it had only been about three weeks since our one-off. Next morning I puked and took the damn test. My surprise caboose is 7 now, and I finally got one that looks like me, lol.

Load More Replies... To learn more about the importance of trusting your gut, we reached out to philosopher, poet and writer, Susanna Newsonen, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.
"Humans have survived in the 'wild' for hundreds of thousands of years, and that is thanks to our instincts," she shared. "It's only our modern society that has devalued the idea of gut instinct in preference for pure brain power. The reality is that you need both. The good news is that the brain and the gut are constantly communicating with each other. The bad news is that the brain doesn't always agree with the gut when it over-rationalizes situations and, as a result, the gut isn't always listened to."

Suffered from chronic lower back pain for years. Went to the doctor who flippantly told me to fix my posture.
Went to a chiro who told me to come in weekly for "adjustment."
Gave up for a while.
Went to another doctor who took an x-ray and told me there wasn't anything wrong with me.
One day I went to the doctor for a hernia who had me take an MRI. Was told the MRI would be like 20 minutes, ended up being 45.
Doctor sits me down and says, "Yeah, that's a hernia all right ... but did you know that you have degenerative disc disease? The discs in your lower spine are some of the worst I've ever seen."
Blew my mind that it took like 15 years of chronic lower back pain to get diagnosed for something that went on a doctor's wall of fame.

I'm a supply chain professional. In the very early days of covid's impact here in the US, myself and many people like me saw what was happening in China and other places and knew, for certain, that there was a massive supply chain shock and crazy inflation coming.
It was extremely obvious and predictable, months before it hit full force. I kept waiting and waiting for someone in the government to talk and do something about it, but no one did. Then it happened.
Then, I heard countless outlets from the wall street journal to Bloomberg to John oliver talking about it and pointing out these factors and causes, that me and hundreds of people like me, were fluently aware of and saw coming clear as day, months ago.
That was when I really lost faith in the system, and I didn't have that much to begin with.

When I woke up and read the news regarding the Brussels airport bombing in 2016, I just knew my father had to have almost got caught up in it.
My father has been awful close to being a victim of several terrorist attacks (was supposed to be at the WTC on 9/11, was in London during the subway bombings, was sitting 2 blocks away during the truck rampage in Stockholm). So when I read the news, I called him. Turns out he was on an inbound flight about to land, and they got redirected to amsterdam.
And before anyone asks - yes, I'm sure he's not secretly some terrorist mastermind!

"This is a big shame as your gut instincts know more than the brain does," Susanna continued. "The brain has processed everything you've ever experienced, but it's your gut that's the expert in knowing how you actually felt in those situations. That's why it's so important to listen to it. It's driven by your past experiences and the feelings around them. This makes it an excellent guide in deciding whether to do something or not. In my experience, your gut instinct is very often right, especially when it comes to making decisions based on how you want to feel."

When an ex-friend got busted for sleeping with a student. I always thought it was inappropriate how she acted outside of school. She would text students on weekends using her number and not a classroom app. She claimed it was for questions about homework, projects, etc. She then invited students to come and watch her perform for a shadow cast of Rocky horror where she played Janet, so she’s in her underwear 70% of the show. Fast forward a few years after all this and I get a message with a news article of her being arrested for f*****g a student. Worst part I had friends that still supported her saying it’s not really a big deal since he was 16-17 and the she of consent is 16. She’s in a position of power and umm ewwww.
Gavin Johnson 1 year ago
In the U.K. the age of consent is irrelevant, if you are a teacher or lecturer then your students are completely off limits (quite rightly), you are in a position of power and as such you aren’t legally allowed to have a relationship of any sort with them. If you do have a relationship then you’ll be on a fast track to losing your job and a possible prosecution.

Thankfully he had the good sense to turn you down. You're missing the point. Yes, you would have consented to sex with this man if the opportunity had presented itself, but he was in a position of power and trust so therefore would have been abusing that if he'd took you up on the offer. He most definitely would have been taking advantage of you regardless of how much you wanted him, as he was a grown man, and you were a teenage girl who he owed a duty of care to. Lots of teenagers have crushes on older men and women, especially teaches and coaches, but that doesn't make it OK if the adult acts on it.

"On the outside, I portrayed the perfect image and on the inside, my gut was shouting hell no. And it was right. Now, in hindsight, I realized I was in an emotionally abusive relationship where he constantly tried to control the narrative as well as what I did and even how I dressed," the expert explained.

Much later, he tried the same thing with a shuttle driver, but this time the victim pressed charges. I found the name of his lawyer and gave him all the details I had. His plea went from "not guilty" to "guilty" really fast. And, yes, he worked with teenage hockey players.
"Somehow, four months before the wedding, some alarm bells of my gut feeling started to go off. I couldn't sleep, eat, or focus - and I knew something was wrong," Susanna continued.

"Eventually, I realized I had a very important work meeting with a senior member of the company on Monday morning, and the wedding was planned for Saturday evening. With the time difference and flights available, I couldn't find a way to make it to both," Susanna continued. "Stupidly, I ignored my gut feeling to go support my best friend on this day and instead followed my brain to focus on my career path. I missed the wedding and have regretted it ever since. I left the job a year later, so it wasn't the right one for me anyways. Thankfully, my friend was super understanding and we're still very close."

I had a lot of suspicions that my ex was cheating. It started out small, like she was just starting to close herself in more. I thought it was stress and depression so I gave her space and she only wanted more and more space. She never wanted to talk to me about it and any approach I made was met with hostility. One day I went to check her PC for something and noticed her login wasn't the same. For the 5 years we'd been together, it was always the same and that's what gave me the first gut feeling. I went onto my PC and tried logging into her FB to; 1.Maybe see if it would answer what's going on with her or 2.see if that password has been changed too. Turned out all her passwords were suddenly changed. I didn't wanna believe that it might be cheating so I thought I'd at least be transparent and ask her why she decided to change everything. She was shocked, angry and fumbled her answer which really made my feelings even worse. We were quite open with each other and had an open door rule with accounts and what not as she'd been cheated on before so she wanted to know she could "make sure" I wasn't doing anything suspicious. One day I saw she left her PC logged in as she went to take a shower. So I took the opportunity to use our original policy and see what she'd been up to. It didn't take me long to find a bunch of conversations between her and a guy she'd met playing GTA RP. When she got out of the shower and saw me sitting in her chair her face looked a bit worried. So I started by asking her "so you and Avery huh?". My only regret is that I tried to make it work after, in an attempt to save the house. Should have told her to pack a bag and gtfo before I show everyone her explicit conversations.

During the pandemic, I was diagnosed on a video call with Multiple Sclerosis. It's a tricky diagnosis to get in many cases, since it's a complex temporally and spacially oriented diagnosis. The day I finally had the badge of Dx that opened the door for aggressive treatments was truly a good day. While other doctors told me "nah, it's not MS", i was integrating risk and accumulating brain and spinal damage. And I knew it. Turning that corner brought tears of relief, if Im being honest. Followed quickly by those of dismay, naturally. .

I had a history of a DVT and one day had similar symptoms. Called my GP and asked for an ultrasound order. Was told an office visit was required. Fine. I'll go to urgent care- it's closer and almost certainly faster (this doc was famous for always being behind in the office). An US was reluctantly phoned in, and I was right - it was another DVT. My DVTs did not present normally, so a test was the only way to know. My docs see me maybe 2-3 times a year, but I see me every day, and I KNOW when something is off. And I have a proven track record - I rarely cry wolf. So they listen to me now. But you should never have to prove something before you are listened to.

After 9 months of my complaining about how much pain I was in constantly. I too felt a relief in finally knowing what the source of my pain was , but felt completely defeated because at this point it isn't about saving my life, it's about buying some extra time. I hope the best for you in managing your illness.

All women of certain age can relate to this. You knew when you had a yeast infection (down there). But in the old days, you had to a prescription to get the medicine that you, the doctor, and every other woman knew you needed. And the office staff at doctors' offices would say "you'll need a visit to confirm the diagnosis. I can fit you in a week from Wednesday." SCREAM! I found a doctor who would give me a refillable prescription. Was faithful to him for years. When they made Monistat over-the-counter, he said, "I guess it is over between us, huh?"

Susanna shared that she had also ignored her gut a few times while working in the corporate world. "The peer pressure to fit the norm is something else, and even when my gut was telling me not to do something, my colleagues convinced me otherwise," she noted.
"It didn't lead to anything destructive, but it did lead me to feeling disappointed in myself as I knew I wasn't living my truth. Don't ever let others tempt you out of listening to your gut instinct," she told Bored Panda. "If it's a no, it's a no for a reason (even if you can't yet articulate it and it's just a feeling). You should never feel the need to justify your decisions based on gut feeling. You can just say, 'I just feel this is what's best', and leave it at that. If people can't comprehend that, it's their problem, not yours."

She told me she broke off all contact with the other guy so that we could focus on us and our relationship. She went to the kitchen to get some wine while watched the netflix Lemony Snicket and forgot her phone the couch. It lit up with a message from the other guy, with the text preview saying "i love you so much baby we'll get through this". I already knew, but it was nice to get the evidence that I knew.

When Susan Smith, of South Carolina, claimed a black man had stolen her car with her two sons in the back seat, I could TELL she was lying.

One of the more interesting facts about that case was how police began to suspect her. She said something about the traffic light pattern and the intersection of the supposed car jacking/abduction and one of the cops basically said, "The signal at that intersection doesn't use that pattern." Kudos on the police work.

There was a dude who did a similar thing in the late 80’s or early- to mid-90’s. He shot his pregnant wife who was riding in the passenger seat and blamed “2 Black guys”.

We also asked the expert for advice on how people can get better at following their own instincts. "Slow down and listen. Often we're so busy and our days are so full, we barely have time to listen to others let alone to ourselves," Susanna says. "Don't underestimate the value of connecting to yourself and your inner voice. This is what is going to best guide you in your life and lead you to your happiest, most fulfilling life."
"No one else can tell you what's right for you because only you know what's best for you. Learn to listen to your gut because it will know what is best," the expert continued. "The more you practice it, the easier it will get. And even if your brain might be saying yes, try to high pause on all the rational thoughts and ask yourself, 'How do I actually feel about this?'"

When I was a kid I was watching the news with my parents and they were interviewing the lady who killed her kids by drowning them in a car (horrible story in the 90’s) and I blurted out “she did it.” My parents go super mad at me and said I shouldn’t say things like that, blah, blah, blah. Sure enough. She did it. I could just tell somehow. My family still talks about it. They think I have some gift. I was just sad someone could do that to their kids. Edit for spelling.

I've always known when missing persons are already gone. It's this wave of regret or sadness that hits me when I see their picture on the news or in a social media post. Sometimes it's intuitive, but other times it comes from a colder, more practical side of my mind, like if they've been gone for too long, or if they were using water crafts. Either way the sadness is heavy but brief.

Ok, The first time I saw Susan Smith on TV, I thought she did it. I was in England when those two girls disappeared and I picked out the guy that I thought did it and I was right. I knew OJ did it. BUT I was working in Atlanta during the Olympics and I was SURE Richard Jewel did the bombing in the park. He was completely innocent, but the number of people who thought he was guilty drove him to an early grave. I keep my opinions to myself now. There will be time after the verdict to voice the disgust we have for the perpetrators.

OJ's attorneys did their job. The ones who let him go free were the police who mishandled evidence, and the prosecutors. People who think OJ's attorneys should have just tried less hard basically don't believe in the adversarial justice system and think the state should decide who goes to jail and just hold sham trials for show.

When I was in highschool I thought my stepmother was cheating on my dad. Me and a friend rode out bikes up to the mall and as soon as we walked in I saw her and some guy sitting across from each other right in front of the food court. My stepmother was so shocked seeing me her eyes got as big as pie plates. As they were walking away he put his arm around her and they were whispering something to each other.
"One of the easiest ways to not listen to your gut instinct is when you start to listen to everyone else around you," Susanna added. "It's easy to fall into this trap because it's a very noisy world - from our friends and family offering well-intended advice to society and social media pressuring us with their shoulds. When it comes down to listening to your very own gut instinct, learn to ignore all that outside noise and fully reconnect with your inner voice. It's that voice that will know what is best for you."

For both of the commenters here trying to say he DIDN'T do it. No one and I mean NO ONE does the things Scott did afterward if they are innocent. 4! cell phones. Changing hair to blonde.

His car was stuffed with around ~15k in cash, viagra LOL and tons of survival camping gear etc. THESE ARE NOT THE THINGS AN INNOCENT PERSON DOES. And this is just the tip of suspicious things ol Scotty did.

Cycling home from work with a friend, the route took us from a downhill stretch on a main road and then through a smaller side street busy with shops, cafes and nose to curb parking. As we swung off the main road my spidey senses went off and I hit the brakes even though the path was clear, my friend continued at speed until a black BMW turned right in front of him. I barely managed to stop and would have crashed too if I hadn't braked earlier. Friend was a little bruised, bike was ok, new BMW had big scratches right across the front of it.

I suspected that an allegedly close friend of mine was the one spreading lies about me behind my back. She was the kind of girl who would always say I was her best friend, I was her sister, etc. but would rarely contact me unless she needed something. Found out people knew things about me I'd only told one or two others in confidence, so I made up something about myself and told it to only her. Rest of our friends learnt it and confronted me about it and I had my "I knew it" moment. Never spoke to her again. Edit: the "thing" I made up - a different girl in our friend group had cheated on her boyfriend with another guy in the friend group whom I'd been texting with but it never went anywhere serious as I found him a bit sus (he told me he was in love with me 4 days into texting). I told the snake friend that we were dating and told her not to tell anyone because I wasn't ready for people to know. Around the time the other girl's boyfriend found out about her and the guy, my snake friend told everyone about me and the guy implying that I'd also been cheated on. Not only that but she heavily implied that I deserved it because...she had a crush on that guy EVEN THOUGH she had a boyfriend. This all sounds like high school drama but sadly it happened mostly in our early 20s. I'm not friends with any of those people anymore.

I had a "friend" exactly like this. No idea why I was the only target of her rumour mongering. We weren't even close and I had never said or done anything that would warrant such horrible behaviour towards me. It took me a few years before I even figured out she was the one spreading ridiculous rumours about me. Finally during my third year at uni I heard from an old high school buddy that I had apparently: gotten knocked up, had no idea who the father was, and had given myself an abortion with a coat hanger. Anyone who knew me even a little would have known there was no chance of any of that happening, which is how the rumours were all eventually traced back to her. F*ck you, Marissa.

There’s more context, but my ex-husband’s ex-girlfriend (who I love like a sister and has helped me so much) sent me screenshots of him trying to cheat with her very early in our relationship. He also texted her that he missed her a few days before we got married. I always knew it. Edited for more clarity so that people don’t mistakenly think I’m the biggest nitwit this side of the Internet: I suspected that something was going on for years, but had no evidence and was repeatedly called crazy, insecure, jealous etc. Divorced his a**e nearly 6 years later, got in touch with his ex (that’s the long story I didn’t want to get into), and then finally saw the screenshots. Had I seen them earlier, I’d have hightailed it out of there. He also faked a text from her, later in our marriage, begging to take him back — just to make me feel like s**t. Had my suspicions about that text too, and she confirmed it was fake at the same time she sent me the (real) screenshots.

Much less scandalous than some of these other ones, but for me it's definitely Blue Bunny's Bunny Track ice cream. When I was a kid I would absolutely demolish the stuff. There was a little tiny grocery store near my home and I'm pretty sure my parents were the only ones buying it to keep it in stock there. But then one day I see on the shelf a variety called "Bunny Tracks Premium." It had caramel and peanut bits in it, a total violation of all things holy in my opinion. As time went on, the store would stock less and less of original Bunny Tracks and more of the imposter variety. Child me was convinced that they were phasing out the original and replacing it with this affront to God and soon the premium variation would be the only one you'd be able to find. My parents probably thought I was insane but here we are, many years later. Original, unadulterated Bunny Tracks no longer exist and the variation with the caramel and peanuts it's just labeled as standard Bunny Tracks. Anyway Kemp's Moose Tracks is my one true love now.

He kept on and on about why I'm still so mad at her because i sheltered him and blah blah blah... Sometimes, things are better left unsaid. Can't un-ring that bell. Now he's mad at her. And it shows. Still wasn't my fault, though, and we (my son and I) have a great relationship.

I say it to myself a lot. Mostly because I’m an observer and a good listener. So there are usually hints of a marriage is in trouble, someone is pregnant, or someone is cheating.

I found an account here about three years ago that I suspected belonged to someone I knew. I definitely hinted that I knew it was them, especially near the end of the relationship, but I never outright told them. I know they knew for a specific reason I don't want to go into but they just acted like nothing happened. I figured it out for sure because they have a niche hobby related to something very specific and I found a comment right before they deleted it in a relevant subreddit. I thought "disco." That's when I knew for sure There was also a f*****g filthy R4R account that belonged to the same person but because of what was on it I never said anything at all. It would have been humiliating for them. Like this was not a normal R4R, I'll just say that.

I knew it might be them, but then I knew it was them because they said something that hinted it might be them. In the end, there was a dirty B2B account that looked like it and it was humiliating and so they ended up disappearing. None of this is normal.

OP found an account on Reddit. OP believed it was someone they knew. OP even hinted to this person that they had found their secret Reddit account. It was never confirmed. The Reddit account posted about a very niche hobby that the person also shared which confirmed OPs suspicions. Also OP found a NSFW account which they believed belonged to the same person.

At 12 years walking with Lil sis around town, get approached by a dude with a camera. He wants to take our photo so he can draw us. He also needs our number so he can contact us and give us the photo. I told the creep to f**k off and took my sis home. Weeks later, the dude gets arrested for stalking little girls and having images of the cp he took himself.

I was with my dad, riding under a train overpass, and noticed a train stopped overhead. I'd never seen a train stopped there before, and told my dad "the train is stopped because [name of a teacher my mother worked with] jumped in front of it." My dad dismissed the notion and we went home. Five minutes after we walked through the door, the phone rang. I said "That's [name of principal]. Calling to tell mom [teacher] died." I was right on both accounts.

Quite a large number of people (friends, family, people I watch/read content from, etc.) who I've suspected are closeted transgender have come out of the closet as transgender. It's to the point that nowadays I don't bother voicing my thoughts on who might be as I don't want to scare them deeper into the closet if they are.

I knew my parents would get the divorced, at least that's the reason I now give for cutting up their wedding photos as a child. I will point out that I cut everything when I got my hands on a pair of scissors, plants, my hair, clothes, bedsheets, basically anything without pulse. I seriously blame my parents for not locking up their scissors.

I was walking home in the evening after dark while pregnant. I usually make sure I keep my head up to be more aware of my surroundings, but had a bad day at work, so I was looking down. It was my turn to cross at the intersection, as I had used the pedestrian signal. Almost halfway across, I randomly looked up and jumped backwards for some reason, as a car plowed through the red light, maybe a foot or two in front of me. I don't know what made me look up and jump backwards at that very second.

My best friend was dating this girl that everyone in our friend group thought was just wonderful, but there was something about her that rubbed me the wrong way, i just couldnt like her no matter how i tried. When my best friend told me he wanted to marry her and asked me what I thought of her, I told him that I had tried my best to like her, but I just couldn't. I told him he was making a mistake. He got angry with me and cut me out of his life, as did all our friends who liked her. Fast forward 6 months, they get married and within three months, he caught her cheating with him in their own bed. He was devastated, and came to me to ask how I knew she was bad for him. We patched our friendship back together, and now he listens to me when I give opinions!
