crept out
Left without notice
To creep out is to make someone feel uneasy or disturbed, often by behavior that seems subtly wrong or threatening: That guy at the bar really crept me out.
The phrase captures a specific kind of discomfort—not fear exactly, but an instinctive recoil from something that feels off.
