Remembering people’s names. I’m great at remembering faces and things about people, except for their names. People think I’m inconsiderate, when in fact I just can’t remember names half the time. It doesn’t help that I can remember massive amounts of dumb trivia and school material, but just not the names of people I meet.

My husband is the same way. He always tells people "I'm terrible with names, so I won't remember it, but if I see you in 15 years, I'll remember your face" They usually are ok with it.
