If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?

    Yes. If I forgot someone’s name after meeting them it would be like me saying “you’re not important enough to me to remember your name.” It’s especially insulting when you think about how many people you meet once and do remember their name.

      What if that number is zero?
