  • No, I absolutely hate it! My youngest daughter loves to do it to her boyfriend, but everyone knows not to do it to Dad. It actually makes my heart hurt, (plus, since I am not very mobile anymore, there's always a chance I will fall down and break something on this worn out body). I'm always afraid it will make someone have a heart attack. But, you are not alone. I see lots of people doing it.
  • Well, I doubt the people or animals you startle see it as humorous. Is it rude? Yes. Think about it - what you're doing can be downright unpleasant for the ones you frighten. Do I do the same thing? Nah. You couldn't pay me enough money to get my kicks out of scaring people or animals. Why is it funny? I'm not sure. My guess - and this is only a guess cause I don't know you - is that maybe you haven't developed a sense of empathy yet. You will, I'm sure:) There are a million truly funny things to laugh at in this world. We can all do better than laughing at someone else's pain.
  • I'll do it rarely to my friends but I absolutely hate when it's done to me.
  • i don't do that and i don't think anything about it is hilarious/funny/entertaining/etc.
  • As long as you're not hurting the animal. Don't scare animals, that's cruel. They don't know what a "joke" is.
  • i have nothing against startling people.
