Is 'being bad with names' a handicap?

I personally am not great with names, selective memory retention is what my missus claims I suffer from along with selective hearing and being potty mouthed. To me it’s a choice, a lifestyle choice.

Definitely not an apparent handicap....

I guess in Thailand it is. ¯\_()_/¯ Money talks, shit walks.

*I’m quite certain the jackass who parked it is not physically handicapped, for now.

According to all wives, all husbands suffer from selective hearing.

My wife has a worse potty mouth than I do.

She started going on about something else, but I could hear here over the sound of me washing the dishes.

I’m not bad with names, but I chose not to remember those I’ll never use again.

Me too. Worked with people for years still can’t remember their names. Makes me feel like an idiot sometimes.

Turn that weakness into a strategic play.

I’m basically the same way, as well as a huge dose of what everyone says is severe ADHD but I’ve never gone to get diagnosed so I have no idea.

I used to be horrible with names but over the past two years I’ve gotten a lot better with practice. When you meet someone new and they introduce themselves and says “hi, I’m ‘Big Bubba Ray!”, ask them their name again:“Big Bubba Ray?”, they will say “yes,” then, while shaking their hand say, “it’s nice to meet you Big Bubba Ray!”

You’ll hear their name three different times and I’m sure that you won’t forget it. It’s all about repeating it and hearing it as many times as possible the first time you meet them. I’ve been doing this for years and it works so well.
