If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?

It's great to meet you H.B.W. - can I call you buh-dubs (like the Netflix jingle) for short?

I had a brain fart when talking to a new coworker and couldn’t remember her name. She was very attractive, and this had clearly never happened to her before. She became very agitated and upset about it. (She wasn’t a b*tch or anything, just unaware of the benefits she got from being pretty.)

I was always nice and respectful to her, but for the rest of our time working together, I continued forgetting her name and it drove her nuts.
