I was in Japan buying a souvenir for my mom. I had settled on a really nice hanging wall scroll with a landscape view. The salesman packages it up, and I realise that this is going into checked baggage on my flight home and is kind of fragile. I mention this and the guy goes and digs up all sorts of additional packaging, bubble wrap, and twine and ties it up so securely that he cut his fingers on the twine. The man injured himself so that I could get his product safely into an airplane.

That was 19 years ago, and I will never be in that shop again, but I will also never forget that.
