Really, how can you remember?

I get this frequently at WalMart. They are usually "dentally challenged" and scratching their privates when they come up and say "didn't yew take care a me in the ER last month"? I always reply "No sir, I didn't. I'm not a nurse but I get this question a lot so I must have a twin out there". That usually confuses them and I quietly make my escape. :-)

That's what you get for shopping at WalMart.

Lordy, lordy, I've been at my new job over 5 years and still can't remember some of my co-workers names!!!!! Double the dose of Aricept stat!!!!!

It's part of having a Y chromosome dude. We're all terrible with names and faces.

Scott,

You're right! My wife reminds me of this daily. Case in point . . . we're at the mall and a co-worker from the hospital comes up to me, "Hi Sunny, blah, blah, blah, oh, this must be your wife . . . I say, "Yes, this is "wifey-poo" . . . *long pause* and my brain is spinning . . . what's her name? what IS her name? Oh geez, you just worked with her yesterday!!!??? . . . finally, she ends the torture . . . "Sunny!!! I'm "blah-blah", we worked together yesterday!!!"

Sigh . . . the joys of having a Y chromosome!!

p.s. - And, my wife will remember that co-worker's name F-O-R-E-V-E-R!! I've already forgotten!!

It's not the Y-chromosome. I can only remember you if I see you in the same context I saw you in before. If you return to the ER, I'll recognize you and remember what your last visit was for and your family members and how we treated you. If I see you out in public, I can't remember if you were a patient, a school teacher from my younger days, someone I worked with in a factory years ago, etc.. I just need people to stop moving around and stay in the place I first met them!

Yeah, but their prices are REALLY good!

They are, but it is worth having your retinas permanently scarred?

I'm the other way around. I never forgot a face, but names I have trouble with.
