My tailor in Chicago told me to stop using polyester thread on denim and I argued with him for 5 minutes before realizing he was right

He pulled out a pair of jeans I'd fixed six months ago and the stitching had literally dissolved where the seat patch was, then just handed me a spool of cotton thread and walked away without saying a word.

Hang on, he just handed you the spool and walked away without a word? That's both brutal and amazing at the same time.

Used to think that kind of thing was just rude, but honestly it sounds like the perfect interaction. Some people just know when words would ruin a moment. Ever get a gift that felt better with zero explanation?
