Answering 'want' ads....Might be a trap, Mindmelter might manipulate your mind to mug you and convince you he paid you already, TWizard might sell you a gizmo that breaks down minutes after he disappears with your money, employer might shanghai you into slavery....

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Handing out your business card. A good psychic or mage can use it to track you down. DogBoy can get your scent off it.

Being rude, or being considered rude, to people....that somebody just might decide you're worth bio-manipulating, empathic blasting, or cursing.
Yeah, psychics and mages can be real pricks.
