The most interesting person you've met...?

I met someone the other day that just blew my mind with a cool back story, and it got me wondering, what kind of interesting people have you all met? Not some celebrity or nut job, but someone in our finance world with something really interesting/surprising going on.

I worked with a guy who had an eidetic memory, it was kind of creepy actually as he took great pride in telling others what they had worn on the same date one year prior. He began to be known as rain man across the office which he loathed. He was eventually let go after several clients complained about him sharing his gift with them. Quite a guy lol.

 

Now that's interesting. I would have had a hell of a time testing that out. Would be very useful if utilized correctly.
