Maybe apply for the job you're good at.

She needs to sign up for informed delivery to avoid the embarrassment.

Reminds me of an old joke

Hi, is this the psychic?

Yes, who is it?

Great start...

I don't want to be a psychic, but I kind of want to dress like a psychic. I wish it was socially acceptable for regular people to wear robes.

their job is grifting

The metal on the mailbox act as a faraday cage so psychic cannot penetrate.

If that's a sequence of radio signals, can I capture it and resend it the next day and the day after, and maybe build an automated cron job out of it?
- Somewhere an advertisement company is already trying to flood psychic waves with spam, just in case.
- You just need a HackRF with Portapack!

It's not seeing through the box, it's a Discworld-style future prediction paradox.

She already knows that when she get there, there will be nothing in the mailbox.

But she has to check anyway, because if she doesn't, causality is broken and she shouldn't be able to know it will be empty, since checking inside is not in her future anymore.

According to Discworld rules, it won't break the universe or anything but it'll give her a massive headache.

Schrödinger's Mailbox
- you dropped this: ʃ

Psychic: I can read people's thoughts, not mailbox content.

Should've read the mail carrier's thoughts smh
- Psychic: yeah, what can be more exciting than constantly monitoring the thoughts of random people around?

She's just going to the mailbox and checking to maintain a "normal" image, get some minimal exercise during her job that requires mostly sitting, and to sometimes "accidentally" run into other people. But to make this actually seem accidental, you have to sometimes go out when there is no mail/person.

Sometimes I knowingly check the mail on Sundays.

Amazon delivers on Sundays and puts shit in our mailbox most of the time.
- Not actually legal if it is Amazon. Could report them to USPS if you wanted to be that guy.
Knowing that I didn't bother to check it for 5 days in a row?

I didn't see that coming.

I like it.

On the one hand, if people are fully willing and consenting to spend their money to pay for an entertainment experience akin to folks paying to go into a "Haunted Mansion" during Halloween for the spooky ambiance, then go for it. I think those types of "psychic" are, in their own way, kind of neat. They figured out a way to make money as an entertainer, an artist, and that's great.

I don't like the types that seem to prey on peoples' desperation and misery, and there is/was a lot of that type. Those folks aren't talking to your dead relatives nor are they going to reliably and accurately tell you where your murdered daughter's body was hidden by the killer. They aren't going to cure your "demon possession" because that shit isn't real. They're not going to make nice with the local ghosts living in your attic because those are a figment of your mental illness. But once the psychic dives into those types of scenarios, they're just pure pieces of shit and deserve all the ridicule one can muster.

What if not good at anything? I'm just "OK", nothing impressive, but adequate.
