The People in the Store: Reading People's Mind

This happened just a few weeks ago, around the first of February 2008. My guy don't believe that people can be or are psychic in any way. He isn't so he don't see it in anyone else. My guy and I were in the store. I was riding in one of those riding carts they have, as I can't walk to well. My guy, he is pushing a cart to put our stuff in.

I could see many people that were not close to me talking, as I could see their mouths moving. I told my guy that I couldn't hear what the people were saying far away from me. But I can think of what they are saying. He stops the cart and tells me that I am just tired and thinking dumb stuff.

I said "I am not tired, I just got up a few hours ago". Well he wondered how did I know what they were thinking, as they could be thinking anything he said. I said "yes they are thinking lots of stuff but I can tell you what some of them are thinking". He looks at me again and said "Okay prove it". I said fine I will.

I seen this man who looked to be in his 40's. I said see that man with the red and blue coat on walking and stopping? Yes he said. I said "He is looking for the isle where the hemorrhoids supplies are at". Sure my guy says to me. I said "Lets stay right here and see what he does". So we stayed by the isle that they were down. The man kept looking. I told my guy "He will ask at the counter where it is any second now". Soon as I got that out of my mouth, he went to the counter to ask. I seen the lady at the counter walk over to the isle and show him where it was at. He picked up the Preparation H tube and put it into his cart. I looked at my guy. Hmm I went. He told me "That was just a lucky guess".

I said see that guy way ahead of us in the gray coat with matching cap on. Well he forgot his wives birthday. Now he is looking for something to give to her to make up for forgetting. "Right said my guy". So I went up by the guy and said "I know how it is to forget someone's birthday, I do that all the time, and then try to find that certain gift to help make them feel better". The guy looks at me and he is thinking "How do you know this". He says to me " o you know my wife and when her birthday is?". I said "Nope to both of them questions". "He said then "How did you know, I forgot it?" I said "I could read your mind". I have done this for many years with my children. Well none the less he didn't like that answer and just looked at me strange, and went on his way. I could feel he was frighten to think anything else in my presences.

So my guys says to me "What am I thinking?" I said "Hey I read you like a book all the time you're no challenge".

We are on our way to the counter and I tell my guy, "That line we get into will be held up". He said "You mean someone is going to rob it?" I said "NO not that kind of held up".

We got to the counter, only one person in front of us. This man was trying to use his plastic card to swipe through the slider. It was not working. The clerk told him "It keeps saying invalid pin numbers". The guy looks at her and tries again. It comes back the same way, and the clerk tells him again the same thing. I motion for my guy to get near me which he did. I whispered in his ear. "He has a stolen card, that is why he doesn't know the pin numbers".

Finally the clerk ask him if he has any other cards, to swipe through the slider. The man he mumbles something, that I didn't understand as far as the mumbling went. But he actually was saying "Shit she knows it's not mine". He goes to open his wallet and oh my gosh, he had lots of cards in that wallet of all kinds. I told my guy to back up, which he did but wondered why. I said to him "I forgot something I need to get out of line". We move down from that register.

We get to another one. Just as we get there to put our stuff on the counter we look down and see, the store manager talking to this guy. And then without notice of any kind, hits the manager and takes off running. People are screaming to stop him.

My guy says to me "You knew all this before it happen didn't you?" yes I said I did. So on the way home he tells me he will believe me next time, when I tell him something like reading others minds.
