People you had a sixth sense about and were right

[HarryPotterISreal]

I’ve just been reading one of the spooky threads here and a poster talked about someone she got a bad feeling about and some months later was arrested for abuse or something. When someone is arrested who is a ‘pillar of the community’ someone always says ‘I never liked him, I could always tell’.

Do you have a story where you genuinely knew someone was bad news, though everyone else thought they were wonderful? How could you tell and did others eventually see their true colours?

I had someone who worked for me who "everyone" loved. He was a cheeky chappie who would do anything for anyone. A good person to have on the team for morale, except that he just could not be trusted.

Those "stories" were basically lies and whilst most of them were just for entertainment purposes he did it when it mattered too, he didn't seem to be able to help himself.

He had a number of minor scams running that bosses always wanted to turn a blind eye to, until the day he did something that cost them thousands and left them with no alternative but to sack him.

It would have been so much better for everyone if it had been dealt with at the beginning, but no one except me could see that his behaviour wasn't harmless and just a bit of fun.

Shirley Ballas. Disliked her from moment she entered strictly judging. Thought she was stern and cold. Everyone else loved her. Just watched who do you think you are and seeing her with her mum, like a cold wet fish, I realise inital observation was correct!

Wow. Woman you judged from a TV appearance you judged again from another TV appearance to prove how correct you were… Well done, you.

drug dealing?

Cards I think?

fffff

Friend of a friend of my husband. I felt really weird around the guy. He was supposedly an amazing person, incredibly kind hearted and so on. I did not like him at all and was very skeptical when told about his “good deeds”
Less than 12 months later he was arrested, charged and imprisoned.

My ex friends daughter, from about the age of 9/10. She is evil, truly evil and now grown, but has been arrested at least once for something horrific she did
