Psychic and Spiritual Advisor

This woman is a rip off. My friend convinced me to go get a psychic reading, because she’s into that, and I agreed. We searched for a place that would be open late on a Friday night and happened upon this storefront next to a deli and a few feet away from blue haven, on the corner of west houston street and Thompson street.
I should’ve known by the way the space was decorated that the lady was a hoax. The window was empty and we walked in the space, which is just about 100 sq feet (if that). Two chairs, a small table, lots of fabric, crystal ball, etc. There was a door that led to further inside the space but it was closed and we could hear someone vacuuming and kids playing on the other side. I guess it’s a live/​work space?
Anyways, we waited around and the psychic finally emerged from inside. We initially were thinking about doing a tarot reading but she said she would do a palm reading and a tarot reading for $ 40.
This being my first time getting a reading done, I thought it would at least last 15 minutes. Boy was I wrong. 5 minutes tops of «reading» and another 5 minutes was spent trying to get me to buy some crystals to clear my energy or some crap like that.
Afterwards, my friend and I compared notes (we weren’t allowed to stay in the room for each other’s readings as it might ‘throw’ her off and because very personal things would be revealed: eye roll:) and what do you know — she had told both of us the exact same things.
Some things she said was coincidentally true for my friend but false for me (hey, ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance of being right, right?), other things were completely off the mark for the both of us.
She said extremely vague things like, someone is jealous of your family (who can’t think of one person we perceive to be jealous of our family) and that I wanted to move soon. Who doesn’t want to move on up in the big city?
Ugh. I am really mad at myself for wasting a lot of money on this lady! The thing is she is definitely making bank ($ 80 for a total of 20 minutes or less between the both of us). While leaving we saw her preying on drunk passerby’s — I guess that’s her main clientele. They see her in the outrageously cliched window and think it’ll be great fun to get a reading since their logic is compromised by liquor. Silly me, I had no such excuse.
Don’t make the same mistake!
