If you picked 3 which most people do (TRY IT) you did what 75% did.

Nobody wants to go first
nobody wants to be second
nobody wants to be last.

It is neither good or bad to be predictable, but if you are potentially someones lunch every day 24/7 as an animal you wouldnt want to be predictable.

In sales, the more predictable you are the easier you are to sell, and the other way around the salesperson is more succesful by not being predictable.

One of my clients who was 72, was going to publish his last textbook (he was a proffesor who wrote college textbooks on psychology) he stated he would do so at the end of his career
to avoid all the flak that would come up.
The subject would be the bane of humans---- Pride and greed.

GREED

The malaysian monkee

In parts of asia, farmers catch monkeys by leaving a birdcage-like trap tied to a tree, with delicious rice mangoe treats inside. The monkey can easily stick his hand in, but cannot pull it out once his fist grasps the treat. Even upon the approach of the farmer he cant bring himself
to release the food in exchange for his life- they actually scream in horror as the human hand
slowly blocks out the sun descending to wrap around his neck. I hope you have seen the video
how they eat monkeys out there, they have a table that opens down the middle with a monkey
size neck hole, where the live monkey is placed. Now with his head on the table they shave his head, and like a 3 minute egg crack around the skull untill the live brain is exposed and proceed
to eat the live monkeys brain, while the body is dangling from the neck hole.

On reflection, doesnt it remind you of people looking for free stuff and getting sold something?
Hey, if we listen to their sales pitch, we get free stuff! Yeah- you will wind up on the table with them, but not in a chair. The deep sea maddof angler fish uses a luminescent lure protuding from his head, like a fishing pole and sucker fish investigate one after another, only to be consumed in a flash.

Somewhere i read about how this merchant family during the depression in new york city was, like everyone else, suffering with near zero sales with their mens suit store. This is how they survived. They had a hustler-hawker in the store front trying to get passerbys to go in; oh no thank you i dont have any money, dont worry just see what we have and when things get better
maybe you will shop with us! we have have free lemonade also. So the victim obliges and sips his lemonade as he condescendingly reviews the merchandise. Do you like this one? yes but like i said i have no money-i will get the price and in the future you can come back--being that there is no price tag he shouts to the back-hey lenny how much is this suit??!! lenny yells back 44 dollars
at this point the customer has already noticed the hustler is hard of hearing-he says what? 44 dollars! cupping his hear he turns to the customer 24 dollars! Greed takes over and he buys the suit because---well you get the point.
