Surprises can be fun. They can also suck. Surprise reflected in a person's eyes is the motivation for gift-giving and practical joking both.
Practical jokes are not funny, please stop performing them. As Christopher Titus might say, pranksters are Level 1s.
That will make more sense when you've had a chance to see he latest show.
Good surprises do happen, though, and represent either truly fearless behavior on someone's part, or careful thought and consideration of who and what you are.
Either way, good surprises are some of the best things on earth. I am usually a pessimist, but when I see that look on someone's face that says "I can't believe you did that", I remember why I like doing those kinds of things in the first place.
There is nothing better than seeing the pleased surprise on someone's face when you've gotten something right and made their lives better. I even hear it in the voices of my customers at work sometime. They are utterly unaware that it is possible to have an easy, helpful experience on a customer support line and actually get their issue resolved efficiently (or even at all).
So to all the people who've ever surprised me or been pleasantly surprised by me, thank you. Yes, especially you.
