There have been a few times in my life that people have tried to surprise or scare me. I can't recall a time that it has worked.

For example, when I was 19, I joined the Air Force. My family decided to try to throw me a surprise party, but I figured it out pretty quickly. I was scheduled to join on March 16th, which just so happens to be my Mom's birthday, and clearly, I felt a little bad about it. I decided to turn the tables on everyone at the party by bringing a bouquet of roses for my Mom as a sort of "Guess what? I knew about this party, I knew that my Mom would be here, and here are some flowers for your birthday." Kind of a double-whammy. The joke was on me since she hadn't made it into town yet from Rochester, so I showed up to my own surprise going away party with roses for nothing. It's the thought that counts.
