itchy palms

I don’t usually believe in superstitions but whenever my palms itch, I know I am about to receive some money, one way or another. I ignore it whenever payday is nearing. I know, I know. Some will argue that they are just coincidences.

Like the other day, my palms itched. I was quite happy thinking of it because it’s still two weeks before payday. But then that morning, I received a text message asking if I want to avail of a payday loan. I ignored the message. There was no more follow-up message for the rest of the day.

My palms itched again the following day. And guess what? The same guy sent me another message this time, with an offer to avail of their debt relief programs. He sent me more than five messages explaining everything. I honestly think he could have saved more if he had called me instead.

I told him I don’t need it just yet, and to contact me next year when our daughter starts attending formal school. I did not receive any more message from him since.
