Tip of the Day
from The Non Expert: Life Hacks for the Rest of Us:
If, while out with a friend, you run into someone you’ve met before but whose name you can’t remember, launch into conversation by introducing the friend you’re with, like so: “Hi! This is my friend [person you’re with].” The other person will invariably reciprocate, and reveal their name: “Nice to meet you, I’m [so-and-so],” thus reminding you whatever their name is too.
If, however, you’re without a friend when you run into this person whose name you can’t remember, instead feign that you don’t know them at all. After all…you really don’t, do you?
