I'm just straight up about being terrible with names and faces. People are very accepting of a humble idiot, not so much a lying asshole.

The bank teller told me the other day my grandma was in earlier and that I've grown up. Had no idea who she was but stayed polite

I was at my high school reunion the other day and I joked about not knowing anyone's name with someone who's name I didn't even know.

Make introductions with another person, said mystery/ forgotten person will reintroduce them self to new third party

This situation gives you power. you smile just a bit, look them directly in the eye and say "I'm so sorry what's your name again?"

It so is! Which is why "hey uh guy?!" Has become a regular part of my vocabulary

I have a coworker in another department that does this. I don't work with her on any projects and I only see her when I go get coffee.

I am terrible at remembering names, as a kid it would take me like a few months/years to remember a name and even now I confuse them.

And that's when you just call everyone "dude"

Or when another one of your friends comes up and you have to try to introduce them to each other. •_•

Saw a distant relative over christmas, blankly stated I forgot his name, he said it wasn't important. Continued unrelated conversation.

A gas station clerk thinks we're best friends. I have never met her. She somehow knows my name and where I work. My 20s are foggy, though.
clevernametom
The people in my office all remember EVERYONES names. People I don't even remember meeting remember my name. It's awful.

When they know you don't know and they're gonna use your name as much as possible to torture you

Agreed I hate when I forget my girlfriends name!

As a forgetful person with a weird name, this happens to me all the time.

Ask them for their email address and hope it's not "britneyfan1734@aol.com".

One time I was on a bus to work and some random girl goes "hey there stranger!". Turns out we used to hang out all the time in high (1)

school, but I had literally zero recollection of this fact. Still feel bad about it. We're friends now, at least.(2/2)
SaltyInternetPirate
All the fucking time! It's one of the reasons I don't go out. People greet me by name and I have no idea who they are. I'm not famous.

Just gotta put a big smile on and excitedly say, "oh hey man ! It's been awhile, how've you been?!" If someone acts excited to see me, I >>

I don't even remember people at all. Someone claimed to be a close friend of mine in high school, and had no clue who they were. She 1/

exactly the same. School was weird. I sometimes feel like I dreamt it instead of experienced it. My brain tried to erase it I guess. 3/3

Yessssssssssss so many people from High School, but why?

Got with a girlfriend because of this. Went to school together, met again years later, she was excited to see me and I couldn't remember her

name to save my life, took her about 20 minutes of conversation to realize I didn't remember her name. She guilt tripped me out of 3 dates

Before she finally told me her name. Melissa. Was a fun 18ish Months. Sad we broke up when I had to move for work :(

(1/2)I just add their name to google contacts along with their picture, where they work, where they live, how old they are, their schedule,

I just ask, "What is your name?" When they tell me I say, "Not your first name, your last name." Works like a charm.

My dad always asks their name, then says "No, that's not it." Jokingly

DOOD! If I could high-five you through my phone, I would right now.
TheManYourManCouldSmellLike
You can tho. Sort of.
KeepCalmAndSnorlax
It might work but it's still kind of awkward randomly asking for their last name when you say hi lol

"Casey is my last name." Was the response I got once, wanted to die.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted; I saw this name-trick-response thing via a post on here some time ago, too.
