Yes that would be annoying. Of course, if you knew, you could always change it. But then I suppose you would see the change too. Odd that you used that word "precognition." I haven't heard anyone use it in a long time & just last night I was watching "Minority Report" (saw it years ago) again. The "precogs" precognitives predict crimes & so the police in the department of "precrime" are able to arrest potential murderers before they've done the deed. An interesting concept. Seeing something before it happens & thus stopping it from happening. But then the future has changed so is a person really guilty of something they haven't done but were going to do?...
Anyway, I'm babbling...I'm glad I can't see into the future. It would be overwhelming. Life is meant to be a surprise. I don't want to know. I'd rather just keep turning the pages & see how the novel turns out! Or should I say, writing the book of my life! I am the author or my fate, right...? Still, I never know what might be around the corner, that's outside of my control.

Right - I know you have been waiting for this so here goes - you deliberately left out the word " of " from your Q.
There - rest easy, it borders on a compulsive obsessive disorder the sooner you learn to live with the minor irritations of precog the happier you will be...(but you already knew that).

Yes, especially when you know you are going to drive a nail through your hand, and you just know you have to do it. I discussed this matter with a local psychic, sadly before she could answer she got hit by a bus! Apparently she never saw it coming.

That might be one, also knowing what would happen and not being able to stop it from happening. That would be a horrible thing. It would be like watching a true story movie, knowing what the ending was and that it would not change, you could not change it and all you could do was wait for it to happen.

It is my opinion everyone has this ability. Whether or not we choose to use it depends on us. So, if we DO, yes it "could" be irratating, but ya know what... I think I would like a little insight as to what I am going to do before I do it, so that if it's something "stoopid" I can choose otherwise. Don'tchya think?

or working out if you have done something or about to, precogs may not see wavy lines and auras indicating a vision but a blur of past, present and future all mashed into one.

No. The most irritating thing is that no-one listens.
