Have you ever acting on it?
I know there are times that I should have.

One year is a lesser loss, sir.I have NOT acted on it, and lived to regret it .... Spent one of the worst years of my life working for a sociopath and being beaten down because I didn't trust my gut.
Oh, a great thread indeed!Have you ever acting on it?

Read The Gift of Fear by Gavin deBecker. It is all about that gut feeling and how women are more socially apt to ignore that intuition. ALL females especially should read it.
Absolutely! I've been telling people for years to have the females (especially, but message good for males too) they love read this book. Women are socialized to not listen to that inner voice. It isn't polite to say no or be rude. That has got to change.^ This x 100000000
I give this book as a gift to the kids in my life as they get ready to leave the nest.
Learning to say "no" is hard for lots of people. I'm still learning it. Actual rudeness is unacceptable, imho, but standing up for oneself is necessary, even if it seems rude or is otherwise socially unacceptable.Absolutely!

Yes, people feel they are being rude, when in fact it isn't rudeness at all, but just being assertive.Learning to say "no" is hard for lots of people. I'm still learning it.

I had a gut instinct about a babysitter once - she had a creepy brother who lived with her.I have a whole cadre of people who know me as that!

And you never did return my sledgehammer.On at least one occasion while driving something "told" me to make a lane change or some such move. If I hadn't I would've been killed by an oncoming vehicle. One time on the job I was almost killed, either intentionally or by mistake, by a fellow worker. Something told me to arise from a bent over position and when I did a sledge hammer landed right where my head had been. It had fallen from a catwalk 50 feet above inside a ship we were building. The fellow worker had sent me down from the catwalk to get something.
