Hate this guy's shriek at the end. They are playing this piece of crap every commercial break on the channel I'm watching. |

I'm a non-violent person now and then and there are very, very few people that I want to roundhouse - this guy is one, just for his little gurl shriek, when he shrieks.

I had a surprise 50th birthday party, and my reaction was pretty much the opposite---silent and blank. I can't imagine shrieking over much of anything. I'm not even sure my voice would go that high. |

Im just glad my tv is usually muted or on low volume during commercials for the most part. I would snap if I heard this a-hole shriek like a little girl at even a medium volume.

I never scream when I get surprised. I fart.
I fart loud.

My 50th birthday surprise party happened 2 weeks before my birthday. No one yelled surprise. I just walked into a restaurant and started seeing people I knew but who didn't know each other well enough to be in a restaurant together. It didn't compute, and I stood there trying to make sense of it for a few moments before I realized what was happening. Even when I realized what was happening, it took a long time for it to sink in. Then, my bro and sis-in-law, who flew in from 3,000 miles away for the event, appeared in front of me wearing waiter aprons, asking to take my order. So, I was rendered dumbfounded rather than startled. Still, I doubt that I'd have screamed. Anyway, I recommend this tactic. Let the guest of honor figure out what's going on. Confuse rather than startle...especially if they're over 50 and you don't know if they have a heart condition. |

We threw a surprise party at the local community center for my then 15 year old nephew..his mom told him she needed to pick something up, and had him come along. When they got there, he saw my car, but it apparently didn't compute. Then he saw into the party room, and lo and behold, there were a bunch of his friends. His first thought? "One of those a******s had a party, and didn't invite me!" Once he saw the banner with his name on it, he started laughing, and realized it was all for him. So, Thor, the confusion route works well for under 50, too!

Ha! Surprise parties are tricky. I had a surprise party here for a friend's wife, and their neighbor showed up the same time she did. Surprise ruined. With my 50th, my friend Jim had told me he needed me to be a witness to him signing something at his lawyer's office. Fine. On the way there, this "lawyer" called him on his cellphone, and asked him if he would pick him something up to eat somewhere. I thought that was odd, but figured he and the lawyer were friends or something. In fact, it was I who suggested a particular restaurant, my favorite Ital place in the area. Jim said "Good idea". That, as it turned out, was the restaurant where people were waiting for us to show up. To this day, I can't believe I fell for the whole ruse. |

I like to imagine that after the commercial cuts away following his shriek, he turns into Sasquatch from those beef jerky commercials and goes on a frenzy.

People don't ever try and surprise me. Most of my friends know I own guns and always carry a knife though, and I think some of them just don't wanna startle someone who's armed(even though I'd never pull any of my weapons just cause I was startled, it's still a deterrent to some people, heh)

I doubt that most operators are good looking meterosexuals who get dressed up for answering the phone for ten bucks an hour.
