I have an innocent and simple question....why do people announce they are going to do a RAK rather than just doing it? I mean it is random right? Doesn't announcing you're going to do it before you do it kinda take the fun out of it? Just something to ponder...

Same reason people announce they are leaving before they leave...then come back - ThinkThinkThink  302.5 #598 12:14PM
Random or not I think any kind of act of kindness is great! Everyone does RAKs differently and that's what makes them so fun!! : ) - TheGirlWhoHasEverything  205.5 #1545 12:15PM
I'm not sure but I have something exciting to tell you....later! Hehe! - PinkyMouse  80.8 #3269 4:22PM
I don't find anything wrong with people posting their plans...whether they go through with it or not. - MozPrincess  577.4 #189 4:30PM
I'm going to answer you. Stay tuned for it.....  - DisneyFanZoe  1096.7 #75 4:36PM

Normally yes, you don't announce a RAK. But it's different in the MW lounge. I think that's the way its been done since Dahulagirl started it. It's just a MW thing. - bagglady  342.9 #426 4:49PM

Good point KissD! I think it's not a true RAK when the giver is telling people to comment "Add me please". I think something like this is more of a raffle than a random act of kindness. - jazmin21  182.3 #1834 4:51PM
People announce RAKs in the park so MWers can find them. - sr citizen space ranger  48.9 #3778 4:54PM
I've never seen such a nice thing (RAK) so scrutinized all time. - Evilstitch  330.3 #474 4:54PM
Hi Kiss! :0) - iyuzMickey  509.7 #231 4:55PM
Oh iyuzmickey you mean - Brently  233.7 #1188 4:59PM
I love to give but can't give to everyone, so I have to do a RAK where you say add me so I can chose a person randomly. It is like a raffle, except I'm not taking money for tickets.  - nittywitty  194.9 #1699 5:40PM
LOL Pinky, DFZ and hi iyuzmickey! my point is...RAKs are great and all but don't go saying "stay tuned for my RAK" instead keep it a secret and surprise us all with the RAK...be it locker, in park, or simple enter me. - KissDclown  1088.1 #77 5:56PM
High five evil stitch!!! Agree!! :) - Mouseketeer.for.Short  335.3 #451 6:30PM
I did because I was so excited about my little craft I made...but I don't have some things to finish the rest of them right now, but I couldn't wait till then to share that I want to give some away next week.  So ya, I put the cart before the horse.  - Sweet_Irish_Cream  2573.1 #22 6:34PM
Add me please - connielu  672.2 #153 6:37PM
I have personally announced my open in-lounge RAKs because 90% of my RAKs are my glass art and I have been working for hours (glass kiln firing takes about 12 hours each which doesn't include the details made) However most of mine have been surprises to the MWer when they arrive at their shipping address :) - CoralsReef  319.2 #525 6:41PM
Pre-RAKs, RAKs, post-RAKs don't bother me. The only posts that bug me are the negative, regulatory, critical, sarcastic posts from anyone other than Admin. Thanks to everyone for all the RAKs you do! - jiminyclint  146.4 #2342 6:55PM
I agree with Evil and Jiminy! Anyone else think the complaining and questioning of RAK's needs to stop? - MiggyMouse  296.7 #626 7:00PM
