Doesn’t mean I’m going to remembere anyones name though.
I have literally forgotten peoples names who I have known for twenty years before.
If I just met you?
I’ll literally forget it before you are done telling me what it is.
But I have also recognized someones face I went to school with over thirty years before, sitting in a tavern clear across two states away.
I’ve had the same problem most all of my life. Recently I’ve found that if you repeat the persons name silently to your self 10 or a dozen times, then recall it again after 4-5 minutes you can remember it when you need to recall it again no matter how long it’s been.
Neat trick for an old guy.
Whether this is why or not, I don’t know, but he’s definitely describing me. 100% the first thing I forget about a person is their name…15 seconds (or sooner) after introduction. I’ll remember the face forever, but the name is gone before I can even acknowledge it.
If I meet someone for the first time and they have a dog…I always remember the DOG’S NAME. Priorities are important.
No question. Of course, once the dog is present you can slack on overwatch.
same here. the dog is way more important to me than people
hell, it is because of my dogs that people around here know me. and me them. yeah, people walking their dogs.
my old dog Slim just loved everyone ! big ass goofy as fuck
110 pound puppy. yup, that is how he acted to everyone.
for the most part anyway. there where a few people he didn’t like. but for the most part, he thought everyone was coming to see HIM. hell, he took a ride with our old UPS driver who stopped afterwards and had me get him out of his truck for God’s sake ! funny part is most “dog people” know and understand why you don’t remember THEIR names but know their dog’s name. and no one is upset about it.
My interest would be minimal at best. It certainly doesn’t interfere with overwatch.
I took the three-credit Dale Carnegie course, where two days were spent in remembering names and things other people consider important. Did. Not. Take. I will forget your name before you finish the introduction. But faces? No problem. I went to a house on business one day and recognized the owner from serving with him in the Army twenty years prior. And he was clear across the country.
Counter argument: I’m partially deaf & the part that isn’t, just doesn’t care.
When you call everyone “dickhead” it simplifies things.
Seems like y’all need another warpspeed TM clot shot booster.
At least you are not dying of “turbo cancer”….. yet.
Gosh, thanks Trump and your zio chabbad accomplices.
Nobody regrets not getting the shot.
Me too! Always been like that. However, about a month ago I met an older fellow at the doctor’s office. He had heard my name and commented that he had known a cute little blonde in 1958 at high school with the same last name. He mentioned my sister’s name including her middle name and it was the correct school. It was the only year she attended before transferring to another. I cannot even understand how that works.
