A random guy walks up to your table in a bar. You expect skeezeball pick up lines....instead you receive a slice of orange. Aha! Fabulous!
You buy a hot dog from a stand in the middle of Belltown and expect it to be blah to normal and probably slightly cold. Instead it is the best hot dog you have ever eaten in your life. Applause!
You order a new drink and clench your teeth for the first sip because it will likely taste like straight alcohol. New drinks always do, right? NO! Instead it is like drinking an alcoholic sour patch kid. Yum!
These are all examples where normal expectations would have still yielded a pleasantly surprising outcome. But having low expectations makes the surprise so much more shocking and increases the pleasantness threefold.
Drunk guy: "You have two girls with you...that's greedy, man!"
Drunk girl: "Yeah and you're gay, so you have TWO girls and you're not even going to use them!"
Chloe: "USE us??"
Drunk girl: "You know, take advantage of you."
