Hello Everybody!
So yesterday I was on my way home from a family reunion on a small but very full plane, and was extremely tired and just ready to turn my brain off. The woman next to me introduces herself and asks me what I was there for, bla bla bla. I answered her and was polite, but all I really wanted to do was read my book. She then says I seem tired and stressed, and I say, "yes, I am" and then it comes: "It sounds like your family could use some emotional counseling. Have you ever heard of PSI Seminars?" At this point, my brain screams. I suddenly become claustrophobic and want to get off the plane NOW! Instead of panicking, I tell her what I have heard about PSI. She then asks me where I have heard it. I say some forums that I go to. She tries to ask which forums, how does she log in, etc. I am very vague and evasive about rickross, and just tell her I cannot remember what they are called (at the point my brain was in last night, it was quite believable, too since I kept forgetting words and such). Then she asks all about whether I have heard of the secret or anything like that. So start to tell her about my linguistic analysis of said book, and how we use certain metaphors in order to make certain concepts more concrete and easily understandable. Suddenly, she didn't want to talk to me anymore. I managed to escape from that conversation much more easily than I thought I would.
Oh boy....
My ex-husband was always starting conversations with complete strangers and telling them about PSI and how it could change their lives. It didn't matter where or when or what the social setting. I remember going to a funeral of a family friend and he stated talking to the widow about taking PSI. We really didn't even know this woman and he's trying to sell her on this seminar during a time of grief. I was very embarrassed to say the least.
