Then you try to charade what they look like, then your coworker starts going down a list of other coworkers names and you’re like “Honey, I do t know anyone’s name, not even yours. Except of Charley from accounting, he as the same name as my nephew, he also kinda looks like him, but as a grown ass man. Then you wonder what would happen if they met, would they become friends? They don’t have much else in commun though… anyways, I don’t know who I spoke to, sorry.

My bluff when that happens

“I spoke to… … … urgh mental blank! Tall, glasses, brown hair, drives a Volvo.”

“Mandy.”

“Ah! I kept thinking Megan but I knew that was wrong. Thank you”

Yep. The masking of pretending you have the name on the tip of your tongue when you know you never even retained it past 2 seconds after you were introduced.
