Some jokes land, but some make everyone wish you hadn’t spoken at all.

When one person laughed at their sister’s story about going to see a psychic, they didn’t expect to become public enemy number one at the family function.

You’ll want to read on for this one!

AITA: for telling my family that psychics are a scam?

At a recent family function, my sister shared how amazed she was at the accuracy of a psychic reading she had 10 years ago.

Apparently, the psychic “predicted” that one day my sister would travel for work, and earlier this year, she started a role that involves some regional travel.

One relative didn’t find this “prediction” very impressive.

I laughed out loud and said that traveling for work isn’t a difficult thing to predict and that she shouldn’t attribute her success to the ramblings of a scam artist.

The atmosphere got very frosty, and I soon found out that every member of my extended family sees the same psychic several times a year.

Now, everyone is upset with me for calling it a scam and has asked me to apologize.

AITA?

How were they supposed to know that their entire family was obsessed with psychics?!

Reddit is sure to get a kick out of this one.

This commenter has some strong opinions on the matter.

Even if you’re right, not everyone will agree, and that’s ok.

The family would be wise to listen to their relative’s advice. It could start impacting their wallets if they don’t.

This commenter, on the other hand, has a more optimistic view.

The next family gathering is going to be a lot more awkward.
