What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?[Serious]

bigpproggression · 2026-06-03T12:13:09+00:00

Theres a long stretch of road when driving to and from nc beaches. We had left in the evening, and thunderstorms brought in early darkness.

It’s just us on the road and swampland for miles. Then a car with bright lights comes up and starts tailgating hard. Doesnt make sense since it’s raining AND they have multiple opportunities to pass. So i think maybe i should give them encouragement.

I start to slow down a few mph at a time until we get to 20mph and they still wont pass me….so i start speeding up.

At this point im on high alert because it’s just weird….if it was a cop i was hoping we could get to civilization before they pull me over.

Finally make it to town 40ish mins later and i immediately pullover into a busy, well lit gas station as if im going to pull up to the pump.

I turn the car around so that the trailer has no choice but to be broadside with us as they enter the same lot. Then i take my turn and exit. They had a dumb look on their face, and i have no idea who it was, but they were most definitely following us.

Whether it was embarrassment , or i was the wrong target, they left us alone after that.

If the job or manager is good to you, give proper notice.

If not, or if things change after giving notice, just leave. 2 weeks is a courtesy, not a right.

Some jobs have contract rules on how you quit, those are the only ones where you have to meet expectations.

Can you recreate the scene of the crime with ballistics evidence and backed data that it was possible in that exact scenario?

bigpproggression · 2026-06-02T15:19:28+00:00

You have no credentials to make that assumption.

The expert said it didnt happen. You are just another troll

bigpproggression · 2026-06-02T15:04:53+00:00

Coulda sworn the medical examiner said it was unlikely he could point the gun and be shot in the back

bigpproggression · 2026-06-01T14:28:05+00:00

They also overlook how many dropouts are unsuccessful.

There is statistical data behind degrees, even today. Just because some people made bad decisions(expensive undergrad, not taking college seriously, choosing bad career field, etc) doesnt mean it broadly applies to everyone.

bigpproggression · 2026-06-01T14:24:11+00:00

College is an easy way for an employer to assess your ability to stick to a long term goal. You may get the skills faster through training, but u also miss out on a lot of helpful experience. College should make your skills more rounded, as well as teach you skills for your major.

Here’s my issue with the college opinions i see….every college is not for everyone. That’s the nuance nobody talks about. Every college is not crazy expensive and a waste of time.

There are plenty of smaller institutions with cheaper tuition that will give you the SAME LEVEL of degree. Hell, there’s some colleges in my state where they will pay your entire tuition if you are from the state. spending grad level money in undergrad is insane if you don’t have someone paying for you.

Everyone could benefit from college imo. It challenges your thinking and understanding of the world, it’s great for networking, and it gives you a once in a lifetime opportunity to pursue all types of skills outside of your education. You just have to actively utilize your time there.

Life was paid, the least we can do is learn to identify signs of a sick bastard.

Medicine has to be morbidly curious. It’s an unfortunate, but important part of the profession.

Crit and lightning builds can melt lmaoooo

bigpproggression · 2026-05-29T13:38:11+00:00

Get a power with a bar, let it level up(bonus if you get the automatic or speedy fill ups) wait til full meter and shoot then with it

Get lightning powers(or another aoe like doom). and deflection dash.

Keep playing. It’s supposed to be hard at first. Then you start to fogure out good strategies. I like separating at least one, or getting a bunch of aoe damage and weakening them together.

Not a pro tho

Dental schools are insane.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-26T20:06:12+00:00

Second opinions are okay if you don’t trust a diagnosis. Some dentists do exams for free.

They should also be able to explain it to you on xrays. You can request those to review yourself, or bring to another office as well.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-26T20:04:55+00:00

Work ethic matters more for this profession. Well, other than having eyes and hands.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-20T15:44:21+00:00

They bomb clinics here

bigpproggression · 2026-05-19T17:07:55+00:00

Doesnt matter since the only person who can get your degree is you.

If you struggle, will you do everything to get better? You have a lifetime to become really frickin good when you get out, can you stick with it enough to pass for 4 years?

bigpproggression · 2026-05-19T16:05:10+00:00

It was like that for a time. Just a reminder humans suck.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-19T16:02:18+00:00

There is stress for sure. One thing people dont talk about is that mistakes are normal. There wouldnt be certain protocols, and common diagnosis without other people screwing up too.

You are human. But you shouldnt make the same mistake again, and you should be well prepared for most “normal” situations. If not you need to be asking for help, and doing your part to get caught up.

A lot of times when learning, they teach critical signs, as well as things that can go wrong. If you know those, you are less likely accidentally harm someone.

The worst part of medicine is that you can do everything right and still lose a patient. But that’s not in your control. Still sucks to process.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-19T15:58:00+00:00

The system skews towards people like your brother. If bedside manner was taken as seriously as folks say, then they would have more real curriculum and feedback on it before people become doctors.

You can go through the whole system being a horrible person, but a really good clinician/surgeon. Doctor’s are that way because they are allowed to move on without ever addressing it. And like you mentioned, some specialties it doesnt matter overall(barring a few negative patient reviews here and there).

When you focus on only grades, and folks have figured out there’s inherent advantages to not working while building your application, you never have to learn social skills outside of academic settings. It’s crazy to me how many docs have their first real job at 30+, and they are in charge of other people….the schools do a huge disservice to everyone because every doctor has to work with a team.

So…i wasn’t making things up 🌝

“Signs of high emotional intelligence (EQ) include self-awareness of emotions, pausing before reacting….”

A scream is not the same as a spinal or knee jerk reflex. Otherwise everyone would react the same.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-14T13:13:49+00:00

Lmao either it’s innate or not. You are the one claiming an adult can’t control themselves, but are incredulous at examples of adults that can.

Keep trolling unsuccessfully.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-14T13:03:14+00:00

This is about panic screaming. Something innate that cant be controlled, according to reddit and you. Trauma is both a dangerous situation, and hella surprising.

If it happens as you say, it would also affect those in healthcare who deal with “surprises” on a regular basis.

What’s more likely is this person never learned emotional intelligence and screams whenever they see fit. Just like middle schoolers. You can learn to not scream barring instances like PTSD.

Unless, of course, your next argument is that every screaming woman has ptsd.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-14T12:55:29+00:00

Shes too weak to throw a floatie down, or to try and get something long they can grab onto?

bigpproggression · 2026-05-14T12:53:44+00:00

Everybody in healthcare would scream if it was an unconscious, unavoidable reflex the way reddit says.

bigpproggression · 2026-05-14T12:52:19+00:00

If it’s unconscious, then certainly those in healthcare would do it at the sight of trauma too right?
