In some 'best bathroom stories', people find long - lost items. Like a ring that had been missing for years. It could have fallen off while someone was washing their hands and then got stuck in a corner. Years later, during a deep clean, it was found.
One time, I found a pair of sunglasses left on the sink in a public bathroom. It was so random. I imagined someone getting all dressed up, putting on their sunglasses, and then forgetting them as soon as they entered the bathroom.

One of the best unexpected kind - hearted stories I've heard was about a stranger who paid for an old lady's grocery bill.

Sometimes the family members can be quite a source of unexpectedness. For example, a grandma who was there to support might start singing a very old lullaby in the middle of the labor, which wasn't part of the plan at all but added a really warm and humorous touch to the whole process. Also, the little siblings of the soon - to - be - born baby might draw pictures of what they think the new baby will look like and show it to the mom during labor, which is both cute and unexpected.
The most unexpected thing could be finding out the person you've been chatting with is a completely different gender than they claimed. It's happened before where someone thought they were talking to a woman but it turned out to be a man catfishing.
