It’s not hard to see why so many people don’t like surprises. If your least favorite uncle is coming down for a visit or a tornado is about to blow through your area, it’s definitely more bearable if you can mentally prepare for it.
Especially since you’ll need time to hide in the basement either way.
RELATED STORIES
But not everybody gets that preparation, so it’s up to sheer luck whether these people will get good surprises or Uncle Larrys.
1. Of course, some people are better at dealing with surprises than others.
While we might feel inclined to move on after the shock hits, others apparently feel the need to…fight it? Catch it in a Poké Ball?
I honestly don’t know what this guy’s trying to do.
2. So the condo above this one is having a party and it looks like they just lost control of it.
I’d say that at this point, the best-case scenario is that somebody at street level will suddenly get hit by flip-flops from Heaven.
3. It was very considerate of them to put an extra bed on the truck in the back to catch all the stuff flying out of that one in the front.
I know it’s hard to get friends to help you move, but this ain’t gonna work.
4. Well, it’s nice to have confirmation when you make a bold claim like this.
Let’s just say I’d be a lot more worried about how he found my Snapchat if he said, “Actually, I am always perfectly, eerily calm. Can I drink your bathwater?”
5. Well, he may not be what they expected, but he seems like a friendly, chill boy.
If he could talk, he’d probably say something like, “Don’t worry about who I am. Just drive, man. All I know is this head needs to go out this window.”
6. I can’t be the only one who would want to know where this person’s going.
I’d ask first just so it’s not weird, but I can’t afford to miss any party lit enough to have what I presume to be adorable dancing in shark suits.
7. With my luck, I figure the “cat” would just be a tiger that would try to eat me or something.
I guess whoever’s in there can be dangerous without actually having a cat at all, but that’s just being uncreative.
Endanger me or disappoint me, not both.
8. Unless literally everyone in this pic has seen Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, I’d love to know what they think is going on.
And I liked that movie, but it didn’t exactly do Infinity War numbers, so that seems a little unlikely.
“It’s OK, this isn’t really happening.”
9. This may not seem like much, but it’s the kind of surprise you take seriously.
After all, how do you expect to start your day when a song comes on that just makes you wanna slump down in that shower and cry?
Yeah, exactly.
10. I’m afraid that all of us will have to face this surprise, because I know none of you expected to ever see this.
No, I don’t know why this is happening, and yes, I do realize that it’ll probably haunt your dreams. I’m so sorry.
11. Uh, wow. I really don’t envy whoever got this fortune, because their life is about to get…interesting.
I’d say they should leave a bad Yelp review for making them look over their shoulder, but then the…whatever would get them!
Maybe that was its plan all along.
12. If this bird wasn’t so pretty, this would probably be a much more startling and unpleasant surprise.
I mean, it already gets points for not knocking things over and pooping everywhere like every other time a bird has snuck into my house.
13. So the photographer heard a “desperate scratching noise” before seeing this, which means this curious raccoon is just full of surprises.
Especially since the real surprise will probably happen when they take the grate off and it starts going even nuttier.
They never asked for this.
14. Wow, if I wanted to come up with a less comfortable outfit to wear, I’d have to start taking inspiration from Saw.
Oh boy, it smells and it’s extremely likely to make me trip and spill trash everywhere? Sign me up!
15. I’m not really sure what’s hipstery about a rainbow donut, but yeah, the background girl only enhances this picture.
The photographer doesn’t need to say a word about this, because it already tells you everything.
There are rainbow donuts and there’s a kid excited about eating them. Boom.
16. Uh…I’m guessing the dolls are in the toilet for being the opposite of what’s written on the sign, but that doesn’t help me use the bathroom.
All I know is that doing the potty dance for long enough to remove those is a dangerous game.
