Yes, it makes it expected as far as I am concerned.

Absolutely, because then you are waiting on the unexpected to happen, therein voiding the surprise of the unexpected. That's the whole point of something being the unexpected--the surprise of it. If we allow ourselves to just relax and carry on with life, the unexpected will happen and we won't even realize it. But at the same time, by just letting the unexpected come on it's own time and it's own pace, we sometimes miss it, because we are not looking for it or expecting it to happen right then and there. It's all very complicated and confusing at times; but I guess in the end if it was really meant for us to have it will come around again.

No, you can expect that something unexpected might happen, but there is no way of knowing what that unexpeted circumstance might be.
Basically the saying "expect the unexpected" is generally understood to mean, be ready for anything, be prepared for any and all possibilities.
If anyone can really do that. I hope that helps.

No, but not expecting the expected makes the expected unexpected.

I like green jello!
I expect that you did not expect this answer even though you might have been expecting some unexpected answers. Therefore you did not expect this particular unexpected response.

Not unless you know what the unexpected is going to be or elso you could get your unexpected confused with coincidence - hope this helps

hmm...no unless you know what to expect the unexpected is...then it's expected but usually you don't expect what it really is therefore making it very unexpected as you expected it to be what you expected...

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
The unexpected is also a reality check.

Yes. And then what are you supposed to expect, if you expect everything?
