Missy, you might not remember, but nobody can forget you!

:p

I was going out with someone called Joan years ago. One Sunday afternoon, completely out of the blue and in front of loads of people, quite a few weeks after I met her, she shouted at me "Will you stop calling me fucking Joan, my name is Jean!"

What a miserable twat she was, eh?

Now that IS rude!!

CLASSIC.......How are you KEVIN?

My memory is soooo crap. I have to put everything in my diary and calendar or I would be really unreliable.

I rely on other people to keep me right most of the time

I remember crap! Try to remember where I put a set of keys down 5 mins ago...err what keys.And yet I could name some bit-part actor who's never had a leading role in a film.The brain capacity for remembering shite!

Ever pulled a burd and not remembered her name? That's worth a thread on it's own.

It is.. And yes.

Classic experience, especially when they ring you as well for days afterwards, and say 'Hiya, its me', and you didnt programme their name into yer phone cos you were too drunk to barely talk at the time, let along type.

I was once trying to cop for this Granny in the Grafton in Liverpool. I'd done all the spade work, bought her a few drinks etc, got rid of her daughter. I'd even managed to persuade her to come round to mine, just round the corner.

Until she said: "What's my name?

That was it. Bye Bye Bye Bye.

:(

Like many i can remember some incidents down to every detail from 20+ years ago but can't recall last week.

Was on a train a few months ago and a bloke i once worked with for 3 years got on .I just could not remember his bloody name while we sat talking for 45 minutes til we both got off at the same stop.Thought i'd managed to bluff my way through without calling him by name but i' guess he sussed out i'd forgot it.

Mine's still quite good, my job of trying to remember what customers use, or want, or get, in a wholesale environment, is cool. Knowing (and remembering) all of the aspects that affect our business really does keep me on my toes.

A lot of other stuff, such as the stats and lineup for the 69 and 86 Mets (or any sports team), some of the minutia of concerts such as what Glenn Mercer of The Feelies said, really pissed off, as they walked off the stage without an encore, etc. I've written some of it down, some of it's been quite useful, I just knew there was no way in the world I'd ever be able to remember the names of the venues, cities, and opening bands for all of the shows I've ever seen without doing that.

Thought that this was another 'puter oriented thread..

Terrible with most names yet pretty good w/ directions and most things numerical. Can get calls from people that I've not spoken to for ages- weeks sometimes even years! asking for directions. Then if you don't remember something who's the wiser. Like reading an old magazine again. Know the writing style + some of the facts are familiar though is like reading it for the first time.

Sometimes I can't remember if I just locked my car a few minutes earlier or not, so I go back and check.

9 times out of 10, it's locked...but one day it won't, and then I'll feel like less of a freak than I actually am

I have no recollection of meeting Paul Simonon...

LOL...do NOT get one of those proxymity locking devices, or you'll go fucking mental, cos every time you go back to check the fucker will unlock.

I spend my time checking if I locked the door of my house or of my car... I wonder what they think of me in the neigbourhood...

You've got a nice army base here, Colonel. Would be a shame if something were to...happen to it.

Excuse my brother Luigi, Colonel, he tends to be a bit clumsy...

Threats? Nobody's making threats here! Just warning, is all...

Well everything breaks, don't it colonel. (he breaks something on desk) Oh dear.

The Vercotti brothers ride again.

It's called some distant memory.

Me too though - but I check lights since I have them on while driving. And I never lock my car.

short attention span due to lack of sleep....kind of messes with my memory....

I remember my frequent flyer numbers, my parents' frequent numbers, bank account numbers, all State capitals, passwords (never write them down), most capital cities of the world (South America and Africa still give me trouble), random trivia, movie lines, etc. After I graduate from college, I have to try out for Jeopardy.
