Has anybody met an arahant?

Question

Have any of you met somebody and spent enough time with them to be comfortable with seeing them as an arahant? Have you met somebody who has attained through direct knowing the end of suffering? Have you met a man or a woman who here and now has final knowledge?

I ask because the Buddha says that such people are really to be found in the world, and I want to know if any of you are satisfied that you have in fact found one. If so, what questions did you ask them, and how did they answer? What kind of a personality did they have? Did you ever observe them in a situation that most people would consider extremely uncomfortable, and how did they respond to it?
