i seem to be a little psychic
i've had weird feelings and premonitions my whole life. i try to ignore them, because they're freaky as hell. sometimes, though, i can't ignore them. sometimes they're really strong and i just have to take notice.
i can foresee me answering this qotw several times, but here's a quick-ish one for now:

several years ago, i was due to go into hospital for a much-needed operation. i'm not scared of hospitals in the least, i've been in and out of them my whole life, but this time was different. the entire week leading up to the op, i felt more and more apprehensive, until finally i had to tell my mum that i wasn't willing to go through with it. mum has been on the receiving end of my premonitions before and knows when to take me seriously, so she called the hospital and cancelled.

two weeks later, speaking to the doctor, i discovered that a water pipe for the under-floor heating had sprung a leak, soaking a ceiling tile to saturation point, until it fell from the ceiling and landed on a bed.
the bed i would have been in.
fortunately, there hadn't been enough time to give anyone else my operation time, so the bed was empty. if anybody had been in it, they would have been seriously injured, or even killed. those ceiling tiles are huge.
