For real. Came into work for six months and talked to this dude about a bunch of stuff every time. Only a week ago did I find out his name. Now I can finally say his name instead of starting off with "hey bro"

At least you remember names. Someone can tell me their name, I'll repeat it as suggested, forget it a few days later anyway.

I'll remember a phone number before someone's name.

Hell, I remember one dude as initials + his age when I met him. I don't know why. Example: If I met John Doe aged 32, there's a chance I'd remember him as "JD32", and forget his actual name.
Shout-out to MK22, I forgot your name again.

I just remember faces for 20 years, no clue about their names.

I have a friend who has a lot of friends. Sometimes we hangout together, but rarely. I cannot for the life of me remember their names and I swear 3 of them look the fucking same to me. It's always a struggle to keep pretending for hours until I finally hear someone call one of them by name. I remember that for a few hours. If we hangout again next day it resets out of my head again.

Could you possibly have face blindness?

As long as you didn't meet anyone named Martin Swanson at age 13..

I sometimes make a note with someone's name and brief description that sticks to me.
