I have a big, big problem with remembering people. For whatever reason, I can meet people, talk to people, see people multiple times in the same environment, and still have absolutely no idea who they are when I see them the next time.
This happened to me twice today at Target. People smiled and said hello to me and it was obvious that they knew who I was and I blindly stumbled through the encounters all the while wondering who these people were and why couldn't I remember them. Maybe they have an advantage since I'm a guy walking around with a 2 year old as opposed to any number of women walking around with a 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 year old. I'm sure that makes it much easier to remember me but still, I look at these people and I have absolutely zero recollection as to who they might be.
This also used to happen to me when I was in the music business. People would constantly come up to me at clubs and talk to me like I should know who they are and I'd spend the entire time trying to piece things together. I don't know what it is but whatever part of the brain is in charge of remembering faces, mine must be broken.
