Fortune teller told me I am cursed on NYE!

Helmlover1 · 01/01/2020 01:39

So I was at a disco karaoke night for New Year’s Eve and just after the clock struck midnight this really drunk guy approached me on the dance floor claiming to be a fortune teller. He said he was from a family of gypsies and proceeded to hold my hand tightly and then basically told me I had 2 really sad events coming up in 2020. He then fiercely let go of my hand and told me to be very careful with a deadly serious look on his face before walking away. Now I’m not normally a superstitious person but this has really taken me aback. I also feel really annoyed that I was having such a good time until this person put a serious dampener on my NYE- without my permission!

I should just dismiss this, shouldn’t I? Or should I?!

Of course you should dismiss it.

I am actually a fortune teller and I tell you 2020 will be an amazing year for you!

Oh Christ - I got asked once by a medium if my mother had breathing difficulties when hen she died... no that cow is still breathing alive and kicking!

Forget it

It’s absolute bollocks - totally dismiss it! I once got told by a fortune teller that I would never get married . . . I was wearing a bloody wedding ring at the time Grin.

They all make it up - ignore it and enjoy your night!

Totally dismiss this OP. This is the shit drunk magicians get up to on nights out.

SecretWitch · 01/01/2020 01:51

It is not uncommon for fortune tellers to inform someone they have a curse on them. They then offer to remove curse for x amount of money.

DramaAlpaca · 01/01/2020 01:53

Dismiss it. Let it go, it's a load of rubbish.

AlaskaElfForGin · 01/01/2020 01:53

It's utter shite! Ignore and have a great night!

Fraggling · 01/01/2020 01:53

What a dick.

Is all I have to say.

A novel way for a man to enjoy freaking out a woman who is having fun on a night out, though.

Iamthewombat · 01/01/2020 01:59

Did you ask him how he told your fortune? Did he get to see your palm in the dark disco? Did he see an empty teacup after you drank leaf tea, not PG Tips, at the karaoke disco? Did he have a portable crystal ball? Did he slip some tarot cards under your beer mat?

(You know that even if any of those implausible scenarios applied, his statement would still be bollocks, right?)

7Days · 01/01/2020 02:04

It's a dare I bet OP.
Mean spiroted ofcourse.

But did your mother never tell you not to believe things that random lads on nights out say?

There's lots of nutters about especially on a night out out night. Plus, there's no such thing as curses.

I reckon he fancied you but is socially inept. Think no more of this random asshole.

MashedSpud · 01/01/2020 02:22

He was drunk and talking bollocks.

L0bstersLass · 01/01/2020 02:25

He's a tosser.
Fortune tellers are a crock of shit and prey on superstitious or vulnerable people.
Put it to the back of your mind.
Your interaction with him will have no impact on how wonderful 2020 will be for you.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 01/01/2020 02:48

OP, if he comes up to you later and says he can dispel the curse with a magic shag, turn him down.

selmabear · 01/01/2020 02:51

Don't listen to him. My sister met a fortune teller who convinced her she was pregnant. I was sat with her while she took several pregnancy tests. She wasn't pregnant.

Dowser · 01/01/2020 06:30

I once got told when married with two children that I had a problem with my womb.
Well I’ve had no problems with my womb, I’ve still got it..and the other child that it subsequently carried lol

Dowser · 01/01/2020 06:34

...although I once as a newly married woman of 1 year and very happy, got told by a gypsy that I would wear two wedding rings.

Well here I am looking at it now.

BananaChocolateLump · 01/01/2020 07:08

What a nasty fucker! Take no notice!

MsTSwift · 01/01/2020 07:16

I was told when we got married in 2004 by a fortune teller friend that I would have an affair aged 42. Now 44 and managed to remain faithful to dh so far Grin

FredaFrogspawn · 01/01/2020 07:20

He’s taking the piss. Don’t rise to it.

ForTheTimeBeing · 01/01/2020 07:23

I know this is not the AIBU board, but you were unreasonable to let a random drunk man touch you and bully you.

You were meant to run after him and beg for more info, and ask if you can still avert tragedy. Giving him the opportunity to pick you up, at least for a snog if nit back to his van for a spot of curse-lifting

SnuggyBuggy · 01/01/2020 07:25

It does sounds like he'd been in touch with some spirits that night Wink
