Life is so unpredictable and random that everything can change in a second. One second you're just casually strolling by the sidewalk carrying your groceries and next you're trying to dodge a speeding car determined to crush you.

Those heart-pounding scenarios don't just happen in movies, they happen in real life, too. Those terrifying encounters are nearly impossible to survive if you don't react quickly.

We may be evolved species but in those moments we rely mostly on our survival instinct and hope to whatever deity we believe in that we will survive. If you have any experience like this, was there a moment before it happened where you sort of felt like something was about to go wrong?

A small clue that signals your brain it's time that you remove yourself from the equation or else you will be in trouble. In those moments, it's best to listen to your gut feeling because it will probably save your life.

A recent Reddit forum was focused on such events. One user asked the others, "What is your 'Oh shit, I’ve got to get the hell outta here right now!' story?"

That simple question received almost 20k responses and 43k upvotes. Someone out there is so desperate to populate their immortal dwelling with humans but these Redditors "noped" out of the situation so fast and wasted no opportunity to save themselves.

This is the interesting question that started it all:

1. Hiking and creepy stories go hand in hand...

... if they didn't act quick, who knows what might have happened

2. Where does one work where a fireball is a possibility? You can't be sleepy in this person's job.

3. Tiny pigs? Adorable. Hogs and wild boars? One wrong move and you're out of a limb.

4. Random men jumping out of a van at the crack of dawn can't be a good thing

Immigration and kidnappers use the same MO apparently

5. Unfortunately, they didn't report the interviewer because the commenter thought it was her fault

6. That's a news report waiting to happen

7. If that's what they do on stage, what do they do backstage?

8. It's time to start learning meteorology

9. The agency is at fault for not informing her about the criminal history of the client. Thank heavens she got out of there safely.

10. There is no shortage of creepy men following women to scare them or worse

11. They won't be laughing if he was right and the propane tank did blow up. It was an appropriate reaction.

12. The now ex-husband because of his abusive ways...

... she also took their dogs with her. Far, far away from the lamp throwing maniac.

13. Holy sh*t! This commenter had the good sense to call the cops on their abusive ex.

14. Don't let your guard down when you travel...

... dangerous people always prey on naive tourists

15. This is why you don't let your date pick you up at your house on the first meeting...

... Don't follow them to their car either especially if they're relentless about it.

16. Mammatus clouds + green sky = tornado, seek shelter right away. Good to know!

17. Change your routine as well for good measure

18. Oh man, that's awful for that guy and the poor driver

19. Always, always trust your gut

20. That's always a red flag and good on 14-year-old you for recognizing it

You can't always tell that what you're about to walk into is dangerous, but once you're in the moment, your spidey senses will definitely tingle to alert you about potential harm. Don't ignore that feeling.

That's a buried animal instinct telling you to hightail it out of wherever you are. Try to be observant of your surroundings and if your gut tells you something is off about the situation or the person you're with, better listen to it.
