80 Life-or-Death Moments When Gut Feelings Became Unshakeable Lifelines
I was driving on the highway one morning, fog was super dense. I had the headlights on and was probably going about 50-60 mph. There was a red Honda behind me that wasn’t quite riding my a*s, but was maybe a little closer than I would have preferred him to be given the weather.
Suddenly, my hands are moving on their own and abruptly jerking the steering wheel into the lane to my left. No brakes. No mirror or blind spot check. I remember thinking to myself, “Why the hell did I do that?” As I look back over to my right in time to see the Honda that was previously directly behind me slam at full speed into a 3, maybe 4 car pileup that I didn’t even realize was in front of me. I missed it by maybe half a second.
Still don’t know what it was that kicked my reflexes off but I’d probably be either dead or crippled for life if they hadn’t.
About ten years ago, my mom and I stopped at Taco Bell for lunch. I was driving and she was the passenger. I parked my pickup truck with my front end facing the street, in front of an electrical post.
I thought we were eating in, but my mom said no, let’s order to go. She told me what she wanted and said she’d wait for me in the truck.
For some reason, i just did not want to leave her there. I was insistent that she come in with me. “What if i get the order wrong?” I said. “Come on, just come in with me.” Mind you, i was like 20-21 at the time, plenty old enough to go in a restaurant order on my own. But something just told me she had to come too.
