Attached: 1 image Pinned. It's my biggest pet peeve on social media, one you've heard me discuss here often. And I see I'm in good company. The various versions of "surprised" replies (I get them constantly) are, IMHO, lazy, condescending, and/or meaningless. Enraged? Yes. Alarmed? Yes. Heartbroken? Yes. Even shocked? Yes. Surprised? Hardly ever.
