It’s with good reason that we are often told to trust our instinct. Some people have the gift of spotting that something is amiss from what can be a normal setting or a normal turn of events for everyone else. Very often, such careful evaluation of events can save someone’s life. At least that’s what happened to TikTok user @jessicahiggs3 who is a delivery worker at a grocery delivery company called Instacart.
A lot of people believe that it is a good thing to follow your instincts or that “sixth sense” as it may help to avoid dangerous situations
The woman named Jessica Higgs, who now has almost 17 million views on her TikTok video, reminded us why it’s important to react to things if you see something weird happening. The TikToker then continued sharing a recent incident she got involved in and how happy she was to have trusted her instincts that saved a person’s life. The woman was working that day as a delivery person for Instacart. She received a request to deliver groceries for an older man who couldn’t shop himself, so his daughter would order Instacart for him.
