Have you had a GUT FEELING to DISLIKE Someone... and you were CORRECT? - Reddit Podcast

have you ever correctly had a gut feeling to dislike someone who on the surface was a cool person that everybody else liked what's that story content warning a lot of these are going to involve a lot of inappropriate assault and some underage stuff so if you're not comfortable with that probably best to avoid this video city council hired another medic older dude with long hair not that that matters he was new to the scene recently completing the course guy was awesome to hang out with went to the bar with the younger EMTs played Video Games Etc at first I thought he was cool but as I observed his work I was his Superior and did his probationary eval I noticed something was off at the private council meeting I spoke openly about this in his 30-day review I stated something was off he didn't seem like a people person and generally the type that would do this job they said that I had no grounds to state that he wasn't suited and that he did his job as described I countered with the fact that when caring for people being a people person is an Unwritten Rule and that doing your job without caring leads to mistakes and in our job field a mistake means death they weren't having it so I finally said look in this job field you need to learn to read people and I'm telling you that something isn't right here city council told me that basically I would was jealous because he got along with the EMTs honestly I could care less I'm not in this job for them fast forward a month and I get a call from an ER about an hour from us they said that their report said the patient was administered 80 milligrams of drug X the patient denied receiving it and since they couldn't figure out why the heck the medic would have even given it they ran a tox panel on him which showed that he did not receive it the doc told me normally he'd let it slide as an error and ask me to speak to him about accuracy but he felt something was off I thanked him and after hanging up pulled the trip sheets right in the Run report it has the drug the amount given and the time I pulled up the narcotics log it showed drug given and replenished along with the tag numbers next I called a friend of mine who was a local cop and was off duty at the time he came over and I opened the other Medics narc box sure enough it had been opened and replaced we then went through his logs for the past two months he had been working and located at least 12 times drugs had been given when probably not needed I called the ER doc back and explained to him and his exact quote here's my personal phone number and our lawyer's number I'll fax you over a written statement along with the test results I'll see if we have anything on other patients he brought in my buddy then called dispatch to tell the council members there was an emergency at the station and they need to come in when they got there we showed them all the evidence and what we suspected within 15 minutes we not only had the D.A approval but also a judge signed an arrest warrant turns out the dude admitted to having a 20-year painkiller addiction he ran out of sources so he figured being a medic would give him easy access he even told the judge he was worried that he would have killed someone just for the meds at the trial I was asked for what resolution I wanted I told the judge being a paramedic I've seen how drugs change a person and that I don't hold him fully responsible on my recommendation he got three months in a locked drug rehab facility followed by six months of house arrest four years later the dude is clean and runs a fundraiser to help raise money for the end to provide Anonymous Narcan services and drug awareness programs today this guy will be an honored member of my crew addiction literally changes people the end result is I now am solely responsible for hiring the Medics reviewing and dismissal I no longer need to justify to counsel why someone was dismissed this job is one where a gut feeling decides someone's fate sometimes our gut instincts are only sort of right when I was in seventh grade there was this girl who was really quiet and sort of creepy and she smelled like crap literally she wore these odd dresses that looked like pioneer dresses homemade and she was just Well Creepy no one talked to her people tried to avoid sitting next to her we all gossiped about her as being the epitome of creepiness then one day she was gone didn't come to class the next day it was all over the news the police had arrested these horrifically abusive parents who were neglecting and abusing their daughter and who had kept their younger son locked in a cage his entire life and never fed him the younger boy was kept Alive by you guessed it his older sister the police were led to the house by neighbors complaints about the stench so this poor smelly girl was suffering abuse from her parents and all the while sneaking food and water to her little brother who was literally locked in a cage for years upon years keeping him alive and then coming to school where she will be avoided and mocked behind her back and sometimes humiliated she was a weirdo and our guts all told us there was something wrong there but she was a freaking hero never heard what happened to her after the parents were arrested hope she recovered I never trusted my ex-bf's uncle I just knew he was trouble and had issues with him visiting or my ex visiting him he was arrested in Florida last year for production and selling meth and hosting a prostitution ring out of his home later learned the ex partook in all the activities at his uncle's home apparently my goat was right about the uncle but not about my ex my snake did I had the sweetest chillest ball python who never nipped or hissed or reared up or anything she'd just curl up with you and hang out one day A friend brought over some of his friends and all of a sudden my snake went nuts standing straight up in her tank and hissing at one of the guys a couple of weeks later that dude robbed my house while I was out of town R.I.P Guinevere a good snake interviewing a guy for a job something doesn't feel right but my interviewing partner really seemed to like him we get to his portfolio of work and I see my side project that I worked on alone as one of his websites so I start asking him questions about it what challenges he had how the client was Etc I let him go on and on then I say I have to level with you this is my work you are showing me my own work look at the source near the footer it has my website in the comments he went ghost white and I just sat there after that I coached him a little on how not to suck and he left we called the contract agency that sent him and let them know my sister's first husband I was five when they got married and I only actually met him a few times in person because they lived on the other side of the country my family really loved him he was Charming athletic smart handsome financially secure and seemed like a great dad when they had kids plus he was never anything but nice to me but I always sent something Shady about the guy when I was in the fifth grade I remember getting in huge trouble for a class assignment an essay describing our families in which I described him as a bad person pretty much word for word quote there's something I just don't like about him it was one of the only times I got spanked as a child well fast forward a couple years and my parents discovered that he'd been abusive to my sister and the kids almost the whole time they ended up divorcing and he has proven to be a complete sociopath ever since he hadn't paid a dime in child support despite being well off enough to buy a new luxury sports car every few years and uses their two kids who are now teenagers who know he's full of crap to play mind games with my sister bringing her to court for full custody knowing he won't win due to his past just to cause her inconvenience and rack up legal fees for her just as an example he also has refused to let the kids fly out to visit our side of the family a few times for no reason whatsoever he's a jerk wad a narcissist a complete sociopath and somehow 10 year old me was able to sense it before anyone else in the family my mom brought her new boyfriend over the house one time for me to meet him he weirded me out I can't tell you why but I didn't like him maybe it's because he was a 35 year old man who wore visors friendly and funny guy who my family liked a year into their relationship he beat the crap out of my mom and stole her dog probably the closest I've come to an assassination attempt edit one I didn't go after him as not to implicate my mom also we got her dog back edit too yep he's in jail my childhood best friend's mother's boyfriend he creeped me out and I hated being over at her house when he was there her family went on a ski trip with mine and my parents both thought he was great funny Charming Etc they didn't understand why I didn't like him years later my best friend told me that he inappropriately abused her starting when she was about nine I probably was picking up on her fear of him so my husband has this cousin Jason and he loads them always has since he was a small child there are stories about my husband trying to beat Jason when he was five it was so bad that as an adult my husband refused to attend any family gatherings that Jason would be out of the fear that he would beat the living crap out of him nobody could ever figure out why my husband hated his cousin so much he had never done anything to him and my husband is the most laid-back and friendly person I've ever met he genuinely likes everyone except for this guy I never understood it myself never having met Jason and anytime I would ask my husband about it he would always say I freaking hate that kid he's not right Jason was pretty well liked throughout the family so my husband's position caused him to catch a lot of crap from other family members I finally got to meet Jason a few years ago at my brother-in-law's wedding and I saw right off what my husband was talking about to the Casual Observer there was nothing tangible that Jason did that he could put your finger on but something was off he would laugh and smile but the smile didn't go all the way to his eyes his eyes were just flat and empty unless he was looking at the girls at the wedding and when I say girls I mean children under 10. when he looked at those girls his eyes lit up with this sick little light you know how someone who hasn't eaten in a long time looks when they finally get a meal they love set in front of them that's how Jason's eyes looked when he looked at those little girls like he was hungry and they were his meal about two years ago Jason's dad married a woman with two young daughters Jason went off and volunteered to babysit about a year ago Jason was arrested and convicted of forcing himself on both of those little girls multiple times screw you Jason I wish my husband had beat you you creepy son of a gun when I played High School football we had an equipment manager who had been doing the job for decades and was absolutely adored by the community guy was in his 70s or 80s one day I'm ready for a game early so I head out to the bus that's taking us I see him loading stuff up so I offered to help him load a few things once we're all loaded on the bus he walks to me in the back because I was a cool kid and hands me a Hostess cupcake in front of everyone as a thank you he handed me the cupcake looked me in the eye and this sense of dread just falls on me I have no idea why and everyone's looking at me so I act normal I eat the cupcake because I was and still am fat and will eat any cupcake you hand me and just kind of right off the feeling that summer he was arrested for inappropriately assaulting some 15 year old girl I'm pretty sure they thought he did more but couldn't prove it or something while in the Army we moved into a new house in Upstate New York we were being neighborly and talked to a guy across the street he had five kids no wife he also had multiple neighborhood kids playing in the yard he told us we can always send hours over he gave us both this horrible feeling so we smiled and got out about a year later my wife told me I was in Kandahar that his kids were taken from him he had been touching them at least ever since his wife died about 15 years ago I worked in a small office mostly men all who I really liked a new guy started one day and instantly I had a bad feeling about him I don't even know exactly why I felt that way and all the other people seemed fine with him so I did my best to be polite and find things to talk to him about I was in my mid-30s he was about the same or a little older and we both had young Sons so I was able to find some common ground apparently he and his wife didn't live together she might have been back in his home country but I could never shake that bad feeling a year or so later I left the company to have my second son and a friend who had taken my place there called me one morning and said did you read the paper today that man had been arrested in another state apparently having been set up by an FBI sting online where he had been chatting with who he thought was a 13 year old girl and was meeting up with her in the trunk of his car they found a video camera and robe I worked as a CNA in a nursing home during slash right after high school we got a new guy that made a lot of mistakes and obviously had some cognitive impairments I'm not sure what was wrong exactly but it was obvious that he was mentally slow leaving a patient with the feeding tube laying flat increasing their chance of aspirating food into their lungs for example on several occasions I complained about him to her supervisor and also vented to my co-workers that I just did not feel right about him everyone accused me of not having any compassion they said he was slow but that he would get it and I should be more understanding they all thought that I was being judgmental because of his disability but it felt like more than that to me one night another CNA went to answer a call light and walked in on him forcing himself on an elderly bedridden woman he didn't even stop just held eye contact with the co-worker until he was finished this all happened over 15 years ago he went to jail obviously but I saw him in Walmart last summer so he is out now I sure hope he is never able to work in a position to take advantage of vulnerable people ever again yes but I suppressed it so quickly and fast because I felt like it was horribly ungracious since she was being so friendly over the next couple years she became my closest friend in the new town I had moved to then the following couple years it vacillated between being close but just feeling like she really didn't want me around or was messing with me a little bit turns out she was having an affair with my husband and was literally intentionally driving me crazy there was a man that would walk around my neighborhood with Samurai swords on his back he also had a golden retriever that would follow him everywhere as children we were always intrigued by the swords and obviously wanted to pet his dog as well he would never let us and yelled at us if we got too close I'm at Chevron getting some gas and 20 cop cars surround a man by the dumpster turns out this guy had just killed a woman in the woods of North Carolina chopped her into pieces presumably with the samurai swords and was dumping the bloody clothes in said dumpster his name was Gary Michael Hilton and he's presumed to be the killer involved with numerous other Backwoods murders throughout the southeast this one's going to be a long story and is going to involve a lot of non-consensual content but it will be the last story my stepfather he's my mom's third husband mom met him at a bar a country bar she used to go dancing at and saw him there for a while before deciding to introduce him to her kids he took us all out to dinner that night and we had a relatively good time then we all went back to the house we weren't home long before I heard him and my mom giggling in the hallway and suddenly I just felt sick I was about 12 at the time by the way I'm not sure what it was but suddenly I just hated this guy my mom asked what was wrong and I just said I didn't feel good and went to my room imagine the surprise of all of us kids when we woke up to see that this guy was still there he moved in that very night I tried to make the best of a bad situation though I avoided him for some time no more than a week later he offers to brush my hair for me we're all in the living room watching TV I'm hesitant at first but my mom encourages me apparently he had sisters and knew how to brush girl's hair I kept my hair about waist length back then and it was a pain to get the knots out so I caved and let him brush my hair he just brushed it no big deal so when he offered other times I let him then one day he offered while no one was there because my hair was so long why don't I sit up on the edge of the chair in front of him oh hey would you like a back rub I rub your mom's back all the time I should mention this wasn't my first interaction with the perv and I actually was very bothered just by being that close to someone I hated being touched back then but because everyone obviously liked this guy I told myself I shouldn't cause any problems next thing I know he says can I rub down a little further in front it's your decision you're completely in charge here thank God I had the courage to say no I avoided him for ages after that and didn't have the sense to tell my mom or my brothers this guy proceeds to find ways to get both of my older brothers out of the house by the time I'm 15. he goes long periods of time seeming to be a perfectly good guy and then out of nowhere hits me with something pervy and horrid sophomore year comes up and we get our class rings well these rings are not cheap and we've always been fairly poor my mom says I have to ask jerk name changed not so obviously for the money I asked him to buy my class ring and he says what's in it for me I go silent my mom is right there she innocently says she can bake you a cake I'm good at baking he's quiet for a while and has to think it through then he says okay but there are rules I forget what all the rules were stupid stuff mostly but his final rule was if you lose this ring you get naked what this is an expensive ring it's a lot of money so you better not lose it or you get naked for me my mom tells him to stop but only half-heartedly when I try to talk to her about it later she says well I guess you better not lose it at that point I kind of figured I couldn't count on my mom for help over the years I've learned she was messed with a lot when she was younger and has convinced herself that all men are this way I love my mom to death but it kills me that she believes this he's never stopped being a total jerk I lived with them until I was 20. I was very shy and having a job was very hard for me I tried moving it with my oldest brother to help him take care of his kid but after three months I was asking to come home and once again got the what's in it for me response I got to hear all about how he lived the past few years just for me and mom bought us a house and everything and how ungrateful I was I came back to what was essentially a prison I had my nephew with me at first as my brother was going to give my mom custody of him that is until my stepdad got mad at him and kicked him hard a three-year-old little boy who hadn't done anything more than annoy him probably by making noise so Mom calls up my brother and tells him to come get him because she's afraid to have him around my stepfather then once he's gone she convinces herself that he never did that finally I met my first boyfriend by this time I'm 20. I had gotten two part-time jobs and he worked at one of them I was hanging out at his house a lot and my stepdad got jealous he decided to give me a curfew of midnight and said if I break it then I'm out of the house and can't ever come back unless I sleep with him because he knows I can't be a virgin anymore I was so there was no excuse no I cried at my boyfriend and he told me I could come live with him this was after we'd only been seeing each other for about three weeks that night I didn't go home my stepfather called me and screamed called me stupid and I screamed back and told him how he made my life a living hell an hour later he and Mom pull up with this truck full of all my stuff that he could put in it he took my car because it was Mom's and dumped my stuff right there telling my boyfriend I was his problem now I will never forget the smirk on my mom's face when she hugged me and I apologized for everything she said she wasn't mad at me at all but was proud apparently I'd had the guts to do what she couldn't of course not long after I left he finally proposed to her and they got married it screwed up to realize that the reason your stepfather didn't marry your mom is because he wanted a shot at you first anyway this is way longer than I meant it to be but the point is that everyone who meets this jerk loves him they don't know who he is just that he's personable and relatively smart but I never forget that first night when for no apparent reason I just felt sick of the thought of him edit there was an update post somewhere in the comments it was too long for me to post here so I just did it as a reply the tldr is no I'm not with that boyfriend anymore but we were together seven years yes mama's still with this jerk but I never see him she's afraid to leave him but now that it's just the two of them she sees it as her being the only one who has to tolerate his crap and she's willing to do that for what she sees as Financial Security she visits by herself and no one questions why we don't go visiting there
