Delivery Person Followed Her Instincts And Ended Up Saving A Customer From A Gas Leak In His House
Some people strongly believe in having a “sixth sense” or very strong intuition about certain situations, having in mind that very often, that weird feeling people have inside them actually proves that something is wrong, encourages others to believe in their inner self and either be more aware of their surroundings or back out from the situation completely. 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.

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.

In the video, Jessica shared that after she goes to a certain place, she has to leave the order and take a picture of it, revealing that workers are forbidden to go inside the house. So the woman went to leave the order and the man came to the door. Instead of leaving, she decided to help him with his groceries because she was convinced that something was wrong and that the man looked sick. So she went inside and helped him out, now sure that he didn’t feel very well.

Jessica then wrote a message to the woman who placed the order, being honest about sounding unprofessional and maybe out of line, but she had to warn the daughter about her father. Jessica noticed that there was a propane tank there, and she herself felt dizzy, so she notified the woman who made the order about a possible gas leak. The woman then said that she would get her son to come and see what was the issue.

After observing the situation, Jessica contacted the man’s daughter and let her know that there was a possible gas leak at the house

I'm sure the rule is there to protect the Instacart workers from having to go into a house in a creepy situation that makes them uncomfortable, but I'm also glad she trusted her instinct that this was the proper time to break the rule. I hope her supervisors recognize that as well.

To protect both customers and workers from actual abuse and accusations of abuse, theft, etc. 100% correct to go beyond rules like this when there are concerns for someone's safety.

Propane and natural gas are both colorless and odorless. That is why mercaptan is added so that it smells.
