People Share The Best Ways To Find Out Someone’s Name After Forgetting It

We all forget the names of people we've just met, and it's completely normal. Most of the time, when introducing ourselves, we don't even hear the other person's name – our voice covers it.

Of course, there are some strange situations when we use the wrong name for quite some time, and no one thinks to correct us because they find it amusing.

Anyway, don't feel bad about forgetting names; we all do it. But do we all know a good way to get out of this tricky situation? A Twitter user going by the name @missmulrooney shared a story about her husband simply saying, "I'm sorry, I forgot your name."

The post prompted people to share their own ways to navigate this kind of situation. We've compiled a list of the best ones. Take a look – maybe you'll learn something.
