You’ll see this coming
Earlier tonight, I saw a posting from a Facebook “friend” bemoaning that she’d been ripped off. In this extremely long post, she complained that she’d taken a chance on someone and given him a two-and-a-half hour “reading” after he paid her via PayPal, rather than through her own website, and that now PayPal had advised her the payment wouldn’t go through.
Yes, you guessed it, she offers her services as a psychic.
In this post, she went on about how she had had labored over that two-and-a-half-hour reading, how she had believed this person was of good character, and she trusted him, and how hurt and abused and taken-advantage-of she felt for trusting him.
To which I replied (and, of course, you saw it coming): “But… didn’t you see this coming, as a psychic?”
Then she did something I never foresaw: She “liked” my reply. Which was… baffling.
I just checked now and it’s all deleted. Her post, plus my comment. I guess she hadn’t foreseen how it might affect her business.

I’ve often wondered if there are in fact legitimate psychics out there, and how they feel about being in such company.

A while ago I had seen a show on, I think it was PBS, of a former illusionist Randi James debunking a lot of new age stuff, astrology, and psychics. He showed how psychics asked leading and general questions to lead to their “revelations”. In one segment on astrology he had a classroom full of college students read an astrology chart prepared for a serial killer, the students read the form and they agreeded it was correct for each of them. He then had the students trade the forms. To the students amazement it was the same form for each of them. In another segment he had a person go to a psychic for a reading. The person was not to answer any questions, the psychic had claimed to be able to see the person’s future in some way other than speech. The psychic failed.
