    I bumped into that same guy again. The guy I talked about who I keep bumping into the hallways at school. He know my name but I still don’t know his name. We’re in the same class and I still don’t know his name.

    This time it was at lunch and I was grabbing a napkin. We both went for the napkin. He then said something along the kind of, “I’m sorry for I have tainted you.” I’m like what. I’m so confused and he went on his way. I went on my way as well. I gotta stop bumping into him and learn his name.

    Q: are you bad at names too?

    I suck at names. Like really bad. Same with remembering the names of the roads beside the one of where i live.

    I can answer you if you ask who is the "president" of my country but i can't if it's about the main minister or the others despite hearing their names.

    That would be funny (mostly us, and maybe you) if you call him John and he doesn't understand why you call him that. And you could reveal that you didn't know his name.

    do what normal people do, follow him home, find out where it lives, then go to your local goverment building, to see whom own the house, find out his parent name, and search all information about his parents, somewhere in those files should be his name

    .....you know what? If someone says that to me, I would think I'm being trolled. So counter trolling would be fine. Just call him John. Don't stop. If he asks why, just smile. Smile wide. And show some teeth.

    I'm quite bad with names too...
    In general, I remember people using physical or personality traits and when I talk about them to my friends I use those traits ^^
    If I have to talk to them, I say it so that I don't have to use their name nor "tu/vous" (politeness in French, I never know if I should be polite or not)

    i gave up learning peoples' names. it wasn't till the end of high school i got sick of everything, turned to one of my friends and told him to call me by my nickname. he agreed and gave me his nickname. we then went on to "rename" the 30 other people we hung out with and i had few problems remembering any of 'em.

    So uh... I work as a merchandiser. It's basically a glorified stockboy but I'm paid by the vendor, and not the stores I service. There was another Merchandiser who I still remember as 'The Pepsi Guy.' Cause he merches the Pepsi products. :X

    I like the fact that most of the vote are "Yes" while we're all reader of multiple novel and that you need to at least remember the name of the MC lol (I said yes too though :sushi_peak:)

    If you're in the same class, then you either should remember their name directly or by virtue of exclusion go through the names in class before you reach the ones plausible to be him(ie first eliminate the other gender, then the people you know, then the people who hang out with the people you know etc. eventually only a few at most should be left unless it's a huge class). Or just pay attention in class when the teacher picks someone to answer and listen when he's picked.

    I take pride that I can remember well :blobtriumph:, especially events from long ago, but unfortunately when I forget something, it takes me lots of effort to remember, funny thing is, I once forgot my own name :blobsweat_2:

    If same classroom, definitely the last part of this. Or pay attention that first day when the teacher has everyone introduce self / do icebreakers.

    Class can also mean school year though. If this, get out a yearbook and search for his face lol.
