A lot of people say they like surprises. What they really mean is that they enjoy pleasant surprises. It is usually a surprise when someone knocks on your door to inform you they ran over your cat, or when you return home from vacation to find your basement flooded (as my parents did a few years ago). I know of very few people who enjoy the surprise of a parking ticket or cavity.
On the flipside, you have people who hate surprises and often cry when something catches them off guard. (You criers know who you are). It starts with an innocent "boo" and ends with a sob. And, strangely enough, for every person who likes to hide behind doors or under beds there is a person who is ready to cry when they jump out. These two camps should form their own nations, the criers and the boo-ers, so that no more unpleasant surprises can occur between friends, family, and lovers.
