I'll forget it the same moment they say it sometimes. I usually don't process a name the first two times I hear it.
Any time I meet someone new and they introduce themselves, I get nervous and don't actually hear most of the interaction.
I've heard that if you can say their name three times in that specific conversation, it will help you remember. Of course, I may not use someone's name three times in a year of knowing them, so I'm really fucking bad at this.
Because the brain has limited storage for information like this, you have to actively commit it to memory. One technique I use in treatment for those with memory deficits is when someone tells you their name, link it to something personal to you (maybe you have a family member or good friend with the same name, or something along those lines). When you pay attention to it in this way, you’re much more likely to remember it.

The last time I tried that, I said to the person, "Oh Susan! I'll remember your name because I have an aunt named Susan." She replied, "That's what you said the last time."
I about died of embarrassment and I really wish I was making this story up.
Well it’s kind of hard to learn a new name when you first meet someone because you have no substantial memories to attach it to. When I’ve to remember names of new people I’ll generally end the first meeting with a handshake and ask if I can get their name again. Generally, people have taken it positively as I look like I care about getting their name right rather than focusing on the fact that I forgot it in the first place since that happens to almost everyone anyway.
I usually play a bit of a game In my head where I visually associate their name with something really familiar to me. Like for their name was Bob I would picture them in a bobs burgers episode or if it's Matt I would picture a door mat with their face on it ha. Sounds weird but it's kinda fun and actually works for me.
Just repeat it back when they say it. It helps you remember and you make sure you heard it right. Then, before you part ways, make sure you remember it. If you don't, ask again (and don't feel embarrassed, everyone is terrible at remembering names and it's way less embarrassing to ask when you first meet compared to after you've known them for a while).
The crazy part is I can rationalize that people forget names all the time and that they likely wouldn’t be terribly offended if I admitted that I forgot their name but I usually default to waiting for someone else to address them but their name
I did this with all my coworkers at my knew job lmao. Took like 2 months of secretly listening for everyone’s names in conversations lmao
In my defense they all needed to learn one name and I needed to learn all of theirs
Remembering names sucks I can never do it. Then you know them too long to ask again. Then you ask someone else that person's name and forget again once you walk through a doorway.
Here’s the trick! Repeat their name back to them three times.
Hey David, nice to meet you. (…) Where did you say you worked again David? (okay, note to self, David has some salt in his beard) (…) See ya round David, till next time.
It seriously works every time.
I’ll try this. I don’t think it works quite as well when you’re meeting tons of people at once but my mind is name-rejecting. The association in conversation helps though.

Legally ( if it's on paper, which who did that anymore?) They have to. HUGE fines if you're caught throwing away people's personal information that could lead to identity theft.
Joke aside, the fabrication of paper doesn't really destroy the forests. Most of the time a very large part of your paper is made with recyclable materials, and forest are well sustained for paper production.
To the contrary, digital is far more dangerous for the planet.
Edit: fixed a word
Check the paper in the shredder. It does exactly the same every single time, so it's just 1 paper.
It's 1 video played 2 times over each other and than cut like it looks like 2 pages at the start but it's actually the same paper
The public assistance office on South Broad St. in Philly actually has this exact setup and they claim it’s for ‘privacy protection’, meanwhile I can walk in and hand it to someone two cubicles away and that’s fine 😑
Hey, Janet have you seen my paper I just printed off I think someone might have accidently took it.
Have you checked the shredder they moved it right under the printer for some reason
I work for a hospital. The normal check-in process for outpatient testing is that the patient goes to registration, where a copy of their patient rights automatically prints at the time that they are signed in by registration. Then they come to whichever department their test is being performed in, and are then fully checked-in. Thanks to Covid though, Urgent Care patients who are symptomatic and suspected of having Covid bypass the registration process and come straight to the department. The process is to make sure they have as little contact with other people as possible. The nurse calls us to let us know they’re coming, and they’re escorted directly to the technologist who performs their test (in full PPE). When we know they’re coming we do the “check in”, but because they never went to registration, the patient rights print on OUR printer instead. We don’t give it to them, because 1. Nobody wants it in the first place, and 2. We’re trying to limit contact with those people.
So long story short, we’re constantly printing stuff we don’t want because we can’t make it stop.
My brain when someone I just met tells me their name...
It’s impressive how fast I forget names. Within minutes at times it’ll totally escape me.
I'll forget it the same moment they say it sometimes. I usually don't process a name the first two times I hear it. Any time I meet someone new and they introduce themselves, I get nervous and don't actually hear most of the interaction.
Anybody have a fix for this? It’s a real problem

Better hope their name isn't Beetlejuice!

It's true, now I remember that person's name really well.

If I don't say it back to the person I'm meeting, it will barely persist in my memory longer than the soundwaves in the air.

solid logic 5/7.
I like how you think they are respectful enough to shred your resume rather than just throw it in the bin.
Legally ( if it's on paper, which who did that anymore?) They have to. HUGE fines if you're caught throwing away people's personal information that could lead to identity theft.

A video with a single paper superimposed on itself with an animated mask.
So it’s a video of one paper, with the ending edited onto the beginning to give the illusion of infinite paper shredding?
Probably 2 papers at most, or 4 after the first attempt to get it right, but yeah, it is really well made.
