I am, admittedly, horrible with remembering people’s names and faces. There have been a countless number of times wherein someone will say hello to me, by name, and I have no idea who the person is.
My husband and I actually have it “down to a system.” If someone says hello to me and I do not introduce them to my husband he is well aware that I probably do not remember their name. He will then stick out his hand to that person and say, “Hi. My name is Philip and you are . . .?”
It works almost every time. And, usually once they say their name, I know exactly who they are. It just takes that one prompt from my husband for the conversation to flow.
Am I alone in this? Does anyone else have this issue?
