I’m awful at remembering names. I definitely fall under the category of people that might offend you, but I honestly have trouble remembering people’s names. Just think that it is embarrassing for people like us to not remember other people’s names. I do feel bad when people come up to me the next day or a week later and start talking to me and I don’t remember their names.

OTOH, I don’t feel bad when I don’t learn everyone’s name in my class. Recently, I never made the connection that a kid from one of my clubs was also in my chemistry class of 15. Equally embarrassing for him, he called me a name I wasn’t. I don’t think I’ve had a class, except for my freshmen seminar, where I can safely say I knew everyone’s names.
