People Who Trusted Their Gut Feeling

Listening to your inner voice can help keep you safe from danger or sadness. That’s what some

people learned online when trusting their gut changed the outcome

of a serious situation. Their stories remind us to believe in our instincts.

The Story:

My wife and I rented a nice cabin in Big Sur, California, for a few nights.

She woke up scared and crying from a bad dream, which she never does.

I had a bad feeling too and suggested we go for a drive.

The farther we drove, the better we felt. We stayed in Monterey for the night.

The cabin we were staying in burned down. I still get chills thinking about it years later.

Their family finally seemed complete. But one day, their happiness was shattered when Jack died in a car accident. Now Rachel was alone to care for their five children, juggling work and motherhood. She barely had enough to live on, and one day at the store, her desperate situation came to a head. “How hard is it to check the prices?” the cashier grumbled at Rachel. “You’re $10 short!” “Umm… let’s do this. I’ll remove the bread, and…” Rachel began picking out items to remove, but the cashier had grown impatient and snapped at her. “Look, lady! If you can’t afford this stuff, don’t come here! Now move! Other customers are waiting!” She pushed Rachel’s bag aside. “Next!” “No, please, wait…” Rachel had just started speaking when a voice from behind cut her off. “There’s no need to remove those items. Your bill is already covered,” said an unfamiliar voice behind her.😳👇

MY LANDLORD RAISED MY RENT BECAUSE I GOT A PROMOTION—BIG MISTAKE MESSING WITH A SINGLE WORKING MOM OF THREE I’m a single mom of three—4, 7, and 11—and work full-time in logistics. We live in a modest two-bedroom rental. My kids share a room; I sleep on a pull-out couch. Not ideal, but it’s safe and close to school and work. Our landlord, Frank, thinks owning property makes him a genius. Ignores texts, delays repairs, and once said, “You should be grateful you’ve got a place at all with all those kids.” Still, I stayed. The rent kept creeping up, but it was manageable—until my promotion. After eight years of showing up early and never using sick days, I became operations manager. The raise wasn’t huge, but it meant I could finally say yes to little things for kids—field trips, cereal that isn’t store brand, shoes that fit. I posted a small LinkedIn update: “Proud to say I’ve been promoted to Operations Manager. Hard work pays off.” Two days later, I got this email: “Rental Adjustment Notice.” Frank was raising my rent by $500. No improvements. No reason. Just: “Saw your little promotion post—congrats! Figured now’s the perfect time to squeeze a bit more out of you.” I called him. “Why now?” His response: “You wanted a career and a bunch of kids—that comes with bills. You’re not broke anymore, so don’t expect charity. This is business, not a daycare.” Now, I could’ve gone to housing services. I could’ve called a lawyer. But I had a better idea. One that would cost me nothing… and teach Frank everything. I knew two things about Frank: 1. He was lazy. ⬇️⬇️ (Continues in comment)
