Old timer at the hardware store told me to check my anode rod, he was right

I was in the plumbing aisle at Lowe's last month complaining about my water heater making that rumbling sound. A guy who looked like he'd been fixing houses since the 70s told me to pull the anode rod before calling anyone. I figured it was a waste of time but I did it anyway, and sure enough it was completely eaten down to a wire. New rod cost me $30 and now the tank sounds like a sewing machine instead of a coffee grinder. Anyone else ever had a random stranger give them advice that actually beat what the pros wanted to charge for?
