A customer in Denver once told me 'the quiet ones are always listening' while I was fixing his AC.
He said it out of the blue while I was checking the condenser, and now I think about it every time I'm in a silent room with someone... anyone else have a random line that just stuck?

That line would get stuck in my head too. Did he seem like he was joking, or was it more of a serious, heavy kind of statement? The tone would change the whole memory for me.

Honestly it's the weird offhand comments that stick with you, right? My grandpa once said something similar about the trees in his yard out of nowhere. It wasn't a joke but it wasn't super heavy either, just this quiet fact. Now I can't look at an old oak without hearing his voice. The tone just gets baked into the whole thing forever.
