I was reading minds at work today. It wasn't intentional and it wasn't deep enough to gather "'confidential" information. Three times today I had people come and ask for advise. Numbers two and three I knew they were going to ask for advise. Mostly it was just listening to them explain their problems, then pointing out the things they were avoiding considering, the important parts, kind of like if you want to barbeque, first you need to get the food to barbeque, the grill, and ALL the necessary parts. In each case I touched on something I "couldn't possibly know". Sometimes people have no clue what they have said and the clues they give. They also don't want to hear how you figured anything out, they are more comfortable with me being psychic than they are with them being careless.
Sometimes I understand how con artists make a living so easily. P.T. Barnum was right, there is one born every second. I can't really read minds, but some people are ready to believe I can.
