I suspect the woman in question here was one of them.

I can only speak from my limited experience as I don't do this professionally, nor do I charge $ for a tarot reading and my mindset is, "you get what you pay for". Not that I don't keep my practices completely professional or give each person 100% of the attention that they deserve. I have found there are some 'types' that seek out this sort of service.

1. The 'fun people' who enjoy spending a bit of free time with an occasional freebie. They wouldn't spend good money for a reading but they consider it to be fine entertainment and if they hear something interesting in the process, it's all good.

2. The 'curious people' who kind of, sort of, might think that there is something to this sort of thing so a tarot reading might be good for comparison reasons.

3. The 'basic believer' who enjoys a good tarot reading and is always on the look out for a reader that is better than their usual.

4. The 'hardcore believer' who finds it hard to make any major decisions without consulting the cards when their normal decision process just isn't working for them.

5. The 'scary people' who can't do jack without consultation.

6. The 'downright crazy loons' who I can usually pick out in a heartbeat because they are so off the wall that I can't leave fast enough.

Maybe she was refusing the answers because she was looking for something else?

One example is "do I look fat in these pants?" No matter what the answer, it's wrong. Same with anorexia and bullemia... as long as they have skin hanging on their bodies, they feel they are fat when in fact they are almost dead. It would be interesting to find out what this woman was looking for in all of those psychic readings. That would at least give us some insight as to her mindset.

I'm sure that Craig can say this better than I, but I have had situations with card readings that make me shake my head in total wonder. To me the cards are clear in their interpretation but the person insists that it has nothing to do with their question. A bit of time with them and you realize that nothing you say is going to make sense to them as they are looking for what they want to hear, not what you are saying.

The only thing we can say for certain is that this person seemed very dissatisfied with the service but continued onward. This is like buying endless music and hating all of it. This is like trying everything on the menu and declaring all of it bad tasting.

Hate that try another. Hated that too try another. Hate again, try another. ...
