I had thought the ability to remember and associate names with faces is a good thing. It’s one of the things i am good at (Well, ok, not so much anymore, but i am growing old, ya’know?). And i turn this trait upside down, by saying things that make me go ‘oops’. Like i am introduced to someone at work, and i remember that i have worked with them earlier. They go “hi, i am so-and-so”. And me? I go “I know” . Ofcourse, the resultant look on their faces is priceless, but i do this so often it can’t be called rare.
Someone gimme suggestions on what else to say next time!! 😦

i’ve been at the other end. when ppl like u have insisted they know me. and i’ve raised an eyebrow, smirked & said “yeah, rite!”
those go down as some of my most embarrassing moments!

I have been at both ends of this scene. However, it’s most embarrassing when random men I don’t know come up to me and say that they know me. And I think it’s just a ruse, but the poor things happen to be innocent!!! 😛
