Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it either. I got on the bus today and my bus pass didn't work. The bus driver said "April 1st." I sort of chuckled and thought to myself, "Oh, its an April fools thing." So then I swiped my bus pass again and the driver said "It's April 1st, your pass is expired." Slightly embarassed, I said, "I'll have to get a new one!"

tl;dr: I hate having to think twice about whether I'm being pranked in the most mundane of situations.
