TIL a stranger at the hardware store gave me a great tip for mixing joint compound.
He showed me a faster way to get a smooth mix without lumps, and now I do it that way all the time.

Spot how the best tricks often come from random exchanges. Learned a faster way to pack a suitcase from a fellow passenger on a bus, and it changed how I travel. Those unplanned lessons stick with you longer than any guidebook. Just another reason to chat with people in line.

Read somewhere that informal learning sticks with you. People recall advice from random conversations more clearly. Explains why your bus tip worked so well.

@thomaslewis is right about random advice sticking, like when a guy at the gym showed me a better way to tie my shoes.
