That one guy on the bus told me to take the back roads and it saved me 20 minutes

So there's this older guy I see every morning at the 7th Street stop. Last week he said I should skip the highway and take Old Mill Road through the hills. I figured he was just being chatty but I tried it yesterday. Turns out he was right, my commute went from 45 minutes to 25 and I didn't hit a single light. Has anyone else gotten random advice from a stranger that actually worked out for you?

My dad once told me to trust the guy selling oranges on the corner and now I get the best fruit every time.

Totally agree @williamm82, the fruit guy near my place never lets me down either...
