I found an extremely bizarre internet survey

Let’s start with me working a job I don’t like much. I’m a freelance journalist, and in order to make a living, I’m required to write all sorts of pointless crap that bears no resemblance whatsoever to what I actually want to write about. But hey, at least I get paid, right? <br><br>The job itself is pretty simple. I just surf the internet and take online surveys, which normally focus on demographics and the like. For instance, they’ll ask me things like, “How old are you?”, “Male or female?”, “From what country?”, etc etc. They also want to know what I think about various products and services, and how I spend my free time. Sometimes, they’ll even ask about the memorability of their advertising campaigns. For instance, they’ll show me a commercial and ask if I like it, or if I found it obnoxious, if I remember seeing it, and that sort of thing. <br><br>Therefore, I was very surprised when I received this one very different survey in my inbox. I clicked on the link in order to get to the website hosting the survey, and then my browser warned me of an unsafe connection. I went on ahead anyway because, hey, I was being paid, but I remember thinking it was a little weird that the link in the email caused such a warning. <br><br>When I started the survey, there was no logo. There was no name. There wasn’t even a progress bar, or any of the other things you’d typically find on an internet survey. It was just a blank white screen with black text. <br><br>I will now go ahead and list out the questions and my responses, which I remember fairly clearly. <br><br>*Question 1: What makes you frightened?*<br><br>*My response: I don’t know. Animals, I guess. Spiders and stuff.*<br><br>*Question 2: You’re on a plane. The person next to you starts talking to you. What do they say?*<br><br>*My response: Hi. I know we just met, and I apologize if this comes off as inappropriate or unrespectful, but I couldn’t help but notice that you’re really good looking. I was wondering if you’d like to have sex with me in the bathroom.* <br><br>*Question 3: You’re on a plane. The person next to you starts talking to you. What do they say?*<br><br>*My response: Wait, what? Didn’t I just answer this one?*<br><br>It was a bit confusing, but I figured I’d just go ahead and answer the question again, and they’d presumably just ignore my first response. I responded the same way I responded the first time, although I don’t really remember. I think they were the same, honestly. Maybe slightly different. <br><br>*Question 4: You’re on a plane. The person next to you starts talking to you. What do they say?*<br><br>*My response: What the hell? Seriously? I already answered this twice.* <br><br>*Question 5: You’re on a plane. The person next to you starts talking to you. What do they say?*<br><br>*My response: Fine. I apologize if this comes off as inappropriate or unrespectful, but I couldn’t help but notice that you’re really good looking. I was wondering if you’d like to have sex with me in the bathroom.*<br><br>After this, the website simply refreshed itself and showed me the same question again, so I assume I wasn’t supposed to answer that question the way I did. I decided to go on forever if need be, answering the same way, but I ended up getting bored and closing the window. <br><br>I received that same email a few more times over the next several months, each time answering the same way and closing the window when it refreshed itself indefinitely. <br><br>I didn’t give it much thought again until yesterday, when I boarded an actual plane. It was a short flight, and I was taking it alone, so I didn’t expect I’d be talking to much to the person sitting next to me. After all, why bother? <br><br>I sat down, and the person next to me was already there. He was a young man with a chiseled jaw and beautiful blue eyes. His hair was dark, and he had a strong facial structure, if that makes sense. He was very good looking, and I remember thinking that at the time. <br><br>The flight attendants were going through their usual safety ritual, and I was fiddling with the various adjustable parts of the seat when he turned to me and said, <br><br>“I know we just met, and I apologize if this comes off as inappropriate or unrespectful, but I couldn’t help but notice that you’re really good looking. I was wondering if you’d like to have sex with me in the bathroom.” <br><br>If I were a woman, this would have likely infuriated me. If I were a man who was straight, I would likely be infuriated too. However, I’m a guy, and I’m gay, so this turned me on. <br><br>I abused the call button throughout the entire flight. <br><br>I have no idea whether or not my actual responses influenced what this man said, or if it’s all just some sort of crazy coincidence. <br><br>Oh well. At least I got laid.
