Have you ever been surprised by an answer (or answers) to a question on this website?

I've accepted the diversity of the human race AND accepted that some individuals can be erratic or offensive or superficial or incisive or very wise.

I'm often surprised, but rarely shocked by answers. Most recently, I  was surprised how many people considered their zip code too personal to disclose given that many have given their city and state along with tons of other personal info. The surprises and variety of responses are exactly what makes this whole project interesting.

Frequently

Honestly, I never read the answers, but of those I have read, I can't say I've been surprised by any of them.

I was suprised once when someone agreed with me.

I don't know about surprised, but I can still remember reading someone's answer to the question about the worst moment in rock and roll history and feeling stung when they wrote the worst moment was the Stones going out on tour last year or something like that. They are my favorite band in the entire world and that bothered me. Allright, I'm gonna shut up now...

A few times. You get a sense of what you think people are like after awhile, then WHAM they throw in a monkey wrench. It's kinda neat though.

If I weren't often surprised by the answers, and occasionally by the questions, I probably wouldn't be a regular participant. That's half the fun!

I am not qualified to answer this question.

I've been disgusted by some and disappointed by some; I guess that counts as "surprised" because I'm surprised somebody could think that way.

Sometimes, yes. Not so much surprised though as intrigued or on occasion, confused.

Yeah. I am always surprised when somebody answers with a very socially conservative perspective. Even though I hear it all the time, it still always suprises me. I forget how close-minded lots of people are.

ive paused and looked at a few, but no answer has really ever offended or surprised me too much. i think i expect everything.

Up until a week ago, my answer to this question would have been "no". But I submitted the question about 'telling your best friend that his spouse was cheating' and I assumed that EVERYBODY'S answer would be no, same as mine, and very few were. That surprised me.

Wasn't there a question like this before? Well yeah possibly but no specific time that I can remember.

I was mildly surprised that anyone wanted to give out their zip codes, but I suppose not everyone lives in a town small enough to truly be stalked with the info given with answers. (name, age, city/state). I suppose the main reason, though, is because it's such an irrevelant question.
