Danger comes in many forms.

Treacherous roads and weather, dubious substances, spoiled or undercooked food, and even people.

Yes, sometimes even being near, or even knowing of certain people, can result in finding yourself in a dangerous situation.

As they may pressure you to take part in something which puts your health and safety at risk, or their behavior is known to have had both physical and emotional consequences on others.

Many try to keep their distance from these people, for others doing so sadly just isn't possible.

"Who is undoubtedly the most dangerous person you know?"

"Couldn't take criticism or couldn't be taught about the error of her clinical judgement."

"Instead shouted at myself, the patient and other staff."

"Didn't come back so she's probably moved on to another area."

"The patient?"

"That was her last go at palliative chemo to give her some more months of quality time with her children."

You Think You Know Somebody...

"When they finally met him (he drove ALL the time), they found out his son had been in jail/prison on and off since he was a minor."

"Trucker dude was super rough around the edges, but had acquired quite a bit of wealth over his career of hard work."

"My parents started having him over for dinners and became pretty good friends."

"He didn't like to talk about his son and got realllllly grumpy when his name came up."

"Dad wasn't the (direct) problem."

"His son got released from prison and came back home on a 'last chance' deal with his dad."

"He was in rehab."

"He was helpful and helping my parents with projects and chores."

"They started trusting the guy."

"He seemed like things were going well in his life for once."

"I even met the f*ck up and agreed he was a nice kid with a bad life (he was older than me and I still say kid lol)."

"Whelp."

"Dad called my parent and told them he had been missing for 2 nights and that's not a good sign."

"Turns out he went on a bender..."

"He started calling my parents with burner phones asking if he could come over."

"The answer was a hard no."

"He then escalated to he was gonna 'roll up with his crew and take their sh*t while they slept'."

"He’s not allowed to tell us what he does and all we know he leaves for a couple of weeks at a time every few months, speaks several languages and looks like he’s cut out of wood."

"There was one time where he came over to a party I was having and I’d set up some VR games for people to try."

"There was a game where zombies attack you from all sides and it’s all about keeping your head on a swivel and headshots."

"I don’t remember the specifics, but none of us had gotten past level 2 or 3."

"He made it to something like 30 without breaking a sweat."

"It was his first time playing that game and he hasn’t games since SNES days."

"Everyone that saw him play/move that day agrees he’s probably not working in IT."

"I’ve never asked him what he does, I just heard 'he can’t talk about it' so I don’t bring it up."

"I’m not saying he’s Jason Bourne."

"All I know is that he was in the army and I think I remember someone mentioning he went to Ranger school."

"His job sends him all over the world. In the time that I’ve known him (about 5 years), he’s lived in the UK, Philippines and Africa."

"This one is from a completely personal point of view, but he definitely has a 'I’m not going to f*ck with that guy' vibe."

"He’s a super nice guy that’s never shown an ounce of aggression, but I think if you asked him during dinner how many people are in the booth 3 tables over, he’s be able to tell you without looking."- LocalArea52Man

Never Judge Based Off First Impressions

"My grandfather, wonderful, kind and caring man."

"Won a military cross for exceptional bravery for taking out 2 machine gun nests in ww2."

"He ran out of ammo and killed multiple enemies with a shovel by hand."

"Was quiet, not boastful but towards the end of his life talked about how easy it became to kill in the war and he remembered the sound of an enemies head coming off when he hit him with a shovel."

"Made me think how quiet and unassuming he was but when necessary he was able to do that."- wallabyfan76

Some people simply live for danger, and go out of their way to put themselves in dangerous situations.

But no one should ever feel unsafe, simply by being around, or even knowing someone.

Thankfully, even if you think you are all alone, there are always people out there who will stand up and protect you, without a second thought.
