A very close friend of mine is always telling me his ''Predictions'' came true
but 99.99999% of the time what he says is basic common sense or just a
coincidence and when someone tells him he didn't have a prediction he loses
his temper. I'll give a couple examples he told me over the phone the weather
we live in the Northeast and in the same city when I watch the local news and even the weather channel no one said anything about a snow storm or blizzard for this upcoming Friday/Saturday cause usually when something like that is about to happen a week or so apart its usually talked about non stop 24/7. Now
I asked him on the phone what news he was watching? He told me the local news channels and the weather channel so of course I let him tell me what he believed he heard and just sat there like yup yeah ok yup even though I wanted to tell him he was 100% wrong cause when I watch the local news or the weather channel no one
mentioned anything about snow if they said chance of snow 1-3'' or 4-6'' he automatically assumes blizzard or makes a prediction which is not even true when you live in New England Snow is bound to happen regardless of month. And second thing he told me he predicted to come true was the department store JCPenney going out of business and was closing all its stores. Again not true he just assumes when a chain of stores is closing he assumes its all of them which would make 0 sense since some locations do better than others so
why would they close location down if they know there are ones capable of making money. Again he never predicted this to happen cause it was talked about on the news a few months back but when he hears something on tv he
just acts like he predicted it. He does have a brain injury but can sometimes
have a short temper if you don't agree with him. How do I kindly tell him he's not making predictions but it just common sense.
