Why are you at my table again?
- Twice a year I read for a local psychic fair. There is one woman who comes to every fair and no matter what she asks and how she has her readings done, they are never right - to her. Several of us have discussed this and have decided she just isn't a happy person and really wants to move away. She actually tells each reader we don't know what we are talking about. I'm amazed she comes back each time and some of the readers refuse to work with her any more. Truely the "Reading from Hell"!

The Creepy Guy
- This reading was kind of weird because everything came out very dark. The guy I was reading for seemed very fidgety and twitchy, and I couldnt make heads or tails out of his cards -- it was all jumbled and confused. Finally I gave up and refunded his money. Next thing I knew, he was calling me every day, sometimes twice a day, asking me to read for him again. I had to get my number changed because he wouldn't leave me alone.

The Wrong Reading that was rght
- I was doing a reading once for a man that was just going bady wrong. He was with his wife and she kept saying "That's not right" and "that doesn't make sense." So finally I said I wouldn't charge for the reading as it was obviously not relevant to their lives. But an hour later, the man came back and insisted I accept the payment. "That reading was spot on," he said, "but you were talking about my first wife - things I've never told my current wife."

The Naughty Librarian
- I did a reading once for a girl who sat down quietly at my table, wearing a conservative button-up blouse with cardigan, glasses, no makeup. In other words, she looked like a stereotypical librarian. Her question was about her relationship, because her boyfriend didn't like her "working all the time." The cards kept coming up showing things like deception, extra parties in the relationship, etc, but it made no sense because it was clear her boyfriend loved her, and she seemed to care about him as well. Finally I gave up and asked her what she did for a living. She said, "I do internet p0rn." After that, I understood why her boyfriend might be a little unhappy.
