You’re A Bad Friend

It doesn’t surprise me that most people wouldn’t remember their friends birthdays unless Facebook reminded them. I’m guilty of this almost everyday! TODAY I signed on and my first response was “Oh crap, it’s my sisters birthday!” (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!) So I can understand that. Apparently less than half of us actually remember our best friends birthday.

There is a new survey out that finds out what percentage of people remember key moments in their lives, the shocking part for me is WHAT some of these people remember! For example, 15% of people remember the DATE of the first movie they saw in a theater. Who remembers that?!

Bad With Names…


If I were to admit to having any flaws (which I don’t) I think the main flaw I would say I have is forgetting people’s names. Seriously in the first 5 seconds after you have introduced yourself to me, I’ve already forgotten your name twice. It’s so bad that my boss tested me on everyone’s names I work with after 4 MONTHS here and I failed. I knew 2 peoples names in the entire building! I walked around most of the time saying “Hey you.” Thankfully I finally cracked down and learned everyone’s names (after he humiliated me by walking me into everyone’s office and telling them I had no idea what their names were) and now I can address people by their names! If you are like me, and find it hard to remember names of the people you meet then you should take a look at these tips to help you remember. After the jump!
