Ex 1. you are offered a complimentary salad, app or drink and then see that item on the bill...and it costs a shit load. ah the turkish surprise
Ex 2. your friend infers that he/she is going to buy you a gift and in fact leaves you holding the bag
Peter: "Erin, what's your favorite color?"
Erin: "Purple"
Peter commences to select a purple wreath of flowers for Erin and stands idly by as she is forced to pay for them
Erin: Is this a turkish surprise?
Ex 3. You take someone home at night and he/she won't leave unless you pay them $300. Rare but still a turkish surprise
