Unexpected Surprises

    I had rather a nice unexpected surprise today. I purchased a professional nasal hair trimmer for the princely sum of €25. Upon returning to my place of residence (i.e my abode) I was flabbergasted to discover that I had actually invested in a full self-barbering kit.:)

    As a folically challenged person this will come in very handy, as I am currently paying in the region of €10 for a two-minute job from my local hairdresser. So I will have the nasal trimmers paid for within two and a half times of cutting my own hair.:)


    Has anyone else had a nice surprise today?

    You started a thread so you could use the word flabbergasted didn't you?

    My image of you being a handsome rugged manly man has been utterly shattered, man.


    I now see you as an old little man wearing a tweed hat looking at the tea section in tesco.

    No you misunderstand, the full kit was in the box, all the blades and the powerdrive yoke for cutting hair. All of it, even the ear steering thingies.

    Is there such a thing as an expected surprise? (other than the 'surprise' present that you knew about but have to pretend that you are completely surprised about)

    A nice surprise is an unexpected surprise. A not nice one is a shock.

    I found €50 in my golf bag this morning. Had forgot I ever put it there. Nice unexpected surprise.
    Was gonna treat myself by putting it on a horse- had he won it would've been another unexpected surprise. But hey I said, let's not try to be too greedy here, so I put it back in my golf bag again.

    Can rape be classified as an unexpected surprise?

    Biggest surprise I ever got was when I was making my confirmation. My sister was in Spain that year for her TEFL and she told me she couldn't come home but I was in the kitchen the day before it and she walked in and I started bawling of course.

    We're not close at all now, oh how times change

    My unexpected surprise today was opening my post to find a cheque from Revenue, because apparently I over-paid a load of tax three years ago. All I wanted was balancing statements for my personal records, instead I got a lovely cheque as well. :D

    Finding a really big hairy spider in an oven glove was quite a surprise.
