Who have you met randomly, not family members or friends or coworkers, but just people you came across briefly, who seriously impressed you in some way?

For me it was the guy who helped us pick out a mattress at Sears about a year ago. We started out by asking about the Tempur-Pedics, and he immediately said that they were bad because the way it indents according to your body shape actually makes sleeping awkward. Dubious, I tried it out, and in fact this was the case.

We then proceeded to examine the various spring mattresses they had in the store, guided by Mattress Guy’s unbiased reviews (clearly he was either not paid on commission or didn’t care about it, as he specifically told us not to pick some because they were too expensive), and came upon a choice between two that were only different in their firmness. They were about the same anyway, so I was just about to pick the firmer one in order to reinforce my delusions of manliness. It was then that Mattress Guy said that most men *say* they prefer the firmer mattresses, when they actually don’t, and furthermore that mattresses will become firmer as they become more used. At that moment I realized that I was face to face with a man who seriously knew his **** about mattresses. I took the soft one and never looked back.

TL;DR: Mattress Guy knows ****ing everything about mattresses.
