Pleasantly Surprised 

A statement used to assure others that there is no need to worry about a task/event due to it not being difficult, when in reality the task/event is grueling and potentially soul crushing.
I bombed that test, I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up when our teacher said we would be pleasantly surprised

Easy on the Eyes and Pleasantly Surprised 

A niche little way of saying you're pleased; derived from the phrase Easy on the Eyes, and when you are content about what you are seeing!
Person 1: Hey! How was your tinder date last night?
Person 2: Easy on the Eyes and Pleasantly Surprised!

Pleasanton, CA 

Pleasanton is a bland, boring upper-middle class suburb, where everyone lives in ludicrous McMansions, drives luxury European cars, and the kids have 5,000 extracurricular activities. Everything is very clean. The town mall, Stoneridge, had a reputation in the 90's for being the most upscale mall for miles. The sun is always shining (literally).

In other words, Pleasanton is Stepford, Bay Area-style. You may never again see such a high concentration of Stepford-ness in California (right down to voting Republican!).

Perhaps the only difference from Stepford-land is the diversity. Pleasanton was a haven for rich, Republican WASPs in the 80's and 90's. Now the town is dominated by Jewish, East Asian and Indian millionaires.
Foothill High Kid: I wanted to organize a charity event with the kids over in Oakland, but when I emailed our principal about it, the whole administration reacted in horror.

Foothill High Mom: I would hope so. We would never allow you to mix with kids from Oakland and I'm glad the school understands that!

Foothill High Kid: Mom, you sound like all the other Stepford wives in Pleasanton, CA.

(based on a true story. Yes, really.)

pleasanton 

A preppy town in the east bay area. Known for nice schools, people who can AFFORD drugs, Stoneridge mall, and upscale neighborhoods. Where the only way police make money is giving tickets to soccer moms in Escalades.

Pleasanton's in the valley, so in the summer, its 100 degrees, and in the winter, its 35.

They're preppier than Livermore, but not as preppy as Danville. Its pretty much an essential to make friends with kids from fremont.

And it surprises everyone that even though most the kids are white, they win hella sports anyway.

Its the perfect place to raise a family. But then again, alot of the parents are never home anyways.

The riches neighborhoods in Pleasanton are Ruby Hills, Castlewood, Golden Eagle, and Black Hawk. But there are also random private estates and low to mid million homes in The Preserve, Moller Ranch, and Ironwood.

The teachers kill to work there, but then regret it cause pretty much all of the family moved there for higher test scores. Some end up quitting because of pressure and complaints.

Its so much harder to find friends if you're knew in Pleasanton, than pretty much any other town in the bay area. Alot of the people were raised judgemental.

Downtown pleasanton, one of the thousand parks here, and Stoneridge mall are basically the only places to hang.

Pleasanton girls are hard to get at, because theyre picky with their men.

Commonly perceived as completely boring, but Pleasanton parties are the best parties. Why? People can afford the crack and Jack Daniels.
I love soccer girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch

Go to Pleasanton, that'll be your heaven.
