What to do when You Forget Someone’s Name

We’ve all been in a situation where we meet someone, but we’ve forgotten their names and we’re too deep into a conversation with them to be asking who they are at that point.

 

#TeamFiji What are some of the things you do to find out the name of a person you’ve just met without telling them you’ve forgotten it??

Sometimes we get caught in the act and the other person has to live with the embarrassment that you’ve forgotten their name, but other times we have little hacks that we can use to find out who they are without coming off as rude.

We tweeted the question earlier today and here are some of the responses that we got.

 

Ask for their number, while typing in there digits jokingly ask them “okay wat name sud i save it as” works for me 😎

I tell my best friend to step in and say hi and introduce themselves to each other, “Oh This is my best friend joy *looks at joy* well don’t just stand there, say hi back and introduce each other” 💀 pic.twitter.com/GKYrjtDO1E

Find an excuse to exchange contact information and ask them how do they spell their name. https://t.co/Q1UXrjSJDi
