"Hello again, we keep chatting but I’ve never introduced myself… I’m Samuel, (soft hand shake) it’s lovely to meet you properly." Don’t get me wrong, I’m just gonna front it up next time she comes to say hello. My name is on my door, so I never bother to do the fundamental pleasantries unless introduced as I just assume everyone knows who I am | |||

"Invite you to your next 1:1. I got your back bro" I’ll have a HR meeting in the morning at this rate, or try to log on in the morning and find out my account is suspended 😭 | |||

 I feel your pain. Kind of. There is a School mum who waves at me and for the life of me I know I recognise her but I can’t remember which child is hers.
I reckon you need to fake it till you make it. And say “is your name Charlotte?” “I thought it was but was having a memory fart”
Something like that anyway. | |||

She won’t even realise that was your point until she replays it in her head afterwards. The only response to that exchange is for her to then say her name as you do the hand shake bit. Works every single time. Happens to me a lot  | |||

"I’ve had the same dog groomer for two years. No idea what her name is and it’s been too long now to ask her name. " as for email details....because you need to recommend her to someone you got chatting to at the vets. 
Bullshit battles brains. | |||

"Hey, so, I don't actually know your name. What is it? That's my usual approach anyway 💜" This is basically what I’ll do. And play up what an idiotic, insensitive, socially awkward weirdo I am | |||

"Take ownership of the problem, even if it means a little white lie, such as saying your memory is terrible. Tell her your name and take it from there. A joke would be fine too" I'm guessing,we are beyond that stage. Onwards and upwards! | |||

"I struggle to remember names so I use Darling. I wouldn't be offended if my name was forgotten,however I might if I was. This is more common than you think so I really don't think anyone would be offended. 🩵" She’s actually a very sweet lady, I just don’t know her name and can’t describe her well other than referring to her as the ‘really really tall one’ | |||

"to ask someone’s name when you should probably know it? 🙃 Theres this lady who always says hello when she uses the kitchen near my office. She’s very sweet and asked me last week my recent holiday was etc. The problem is I don’t have a clue what her name is, and I’ve worked here almost 3 years. So I asked a lady I co-manage as I thought they worked in the same office space. She gave me a name (Anna) and went back to the office to check something for me. Then she came back and was like ‘Oh I think you meant Charlotte…. Cos I just saw Anna in the office and said that you were asking about her….’ You said WHAT 😭🥲🙃" Ask one of her colleagues | |||
