I was reflecting back on a job. I remember a man coming in to the office where I worked and feeling hatred. I always considered myself a nice person; however, I could not find the nice person inside me when he came into the office. I wouldn't even speak to him. My manager told me I was being rude. I told her that I didn't care because I tried and could not find it in me to be nice to him. I was being true to myself and had the courage at that time to not care what anyone thought. Six months later, my manager called me at home to tell me that the man I was rude to was on the news for entrapping and molesting a six year old boy. I was always taught to be polite and nice to everyone instead of being true to my own feelings. This was one incident where I recognized my own feelings and stood by them no matter what the consequences. When I have this feeling with another person, then that tells me to stop, look, and listen to myself. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
This happened to me just last night. Im a pharmacist, and I had a guy come in about 10 minutes before closing. I just didnt feel right about him from the start. Im usually very outgoing and have very good patient relations but this guy just gave me a bad feeling.
He had a script for Vicodin (of course) I didnt feel right about filling it for him, so I refused the script. This morning I confirmed it was a fake Rx. I checked with the Drs office and they said they had some script pads stolen from them.
I always trust my instincts. This has happened many times to me.

When I was a kid a friend of mine almost got snatched by some wacko. He pulled up to her when she was walking home from school. She didn't trust him and switched both her instrument case and tennis rachet into one hand. When he tried to grab her she screamed and whacked him with the rachet. He tried to stop her but she got away and ran home. They caught him a bit later trying to get away down the highway. She said later her intuition warned her. She just knew something was wrong.

Profiling is very common in woman. I think we should listen to our instincts more often. Sad part is our hearts sometimes gets in the way.
Not too long ago I was looking on watchdog and was looking at the peds in our area. As I was driving down the street to take my kids to school I noticed this man and this child. Wouldn't you know that THIS was on of the peds in our neighborhood and apparently his girlfriend had a little boy. I called the police to be on the safe side and they said that he was NOT to be around children at all. So I watched for a while and I never saw him with the child again. I can only hope the girlfriend found out and left. The ped is still in the neighborhood. Sicko.
