I desperately try not to read minds. It is very difficult with my husband, because he expects that I can read his mind, for instance "next time your out shopping, can you pick me up some of the stuff that you bought 8 years ago that I liked?" I am serious, he will grunt and expect you to know what the grunt means, he will snort as though you can understand his "basic" language skills. It is very frustrating, even though I have told him several times, he still insists on this childish behaviour. Argh. Any hints from anyone that may have had the luxury of dealing with people like this.
