suprise parties

Hey, just wondering is it just me who hates suprise parties?

I have only ever had one thrown for me in my life a few years ago but i can honestly say it was the worst night of my life, terrible in fact. The thought of going through that again sometime in the future really pains me. I've made it crystal clear to family and friends this is a no go zone......

So, anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
