    Counter point: psychic knew she would say something hilarious, and intentionally asked for the laugh

    Psychic: Why don’t you come in for a reading?

    Me: Shouldn’t you already know the answer to that?

    I was once invited to join a coffee reading event, to which I responded by asking if I should bring a book or whether they had a specific one in mind. Wish I could say it was was wit, but nope, just genuine confusion lol.

      Huh. Before tapping the link I was beginning to imagine jokes I might tell about it being an event where coffee is the thing being read.
      Definitely wasn’t expecting it to be exactly that.

    I was drunk at a party at a rural art gallery in my 20s and a middle aged woman i didn’t know grabbed my hand, looked at it and said with perfect confidence that i needed to be careful driving home because i’d been in a few prangs (australian for car accidents) and had another coming up.

    When i replied that i’ve never driven a car or been in an accident all she could say was “oh”.

    I’ve never encountered a psychic on the street.

    Not that I need any, I just now feel like I’m missing out on something.

      There’s a big shopping street in the next big city, on which I’ve definitely seen people try to pitch psychic services.

      I’ve also seen an older guy claiming to be a master offering chess matches for five bucks. I’m not keen on touching piece that who knows how many other people have touched (this was before I started carrying disinfectant in my bag during Covid), and I didn’t have the time either, but sometimes I wish I’d played a match just to see how hard he could school me.

      And I’ve seen too many people trying to evangelise. Actually, that should probably count as psychic crap too.
