Three surprising facts about transcendental numbers:

1: Almost all numbers are transcendental.

2: If you could pick a real number at random, the probability of it being transcendental is 1.

3: Finding new transcendental numbers is trivial. Just add 1 to any other transcendental number and you have a new transcendental number.

Most of our lives we deal with non-transcendental numbers, even though those are infinitely rare.
