By fate’s mercy I can socialize fine and observe custom, when I really should be mumbling and failing eye contact. Often though, I’ll defend someone else’s faux pas that’s actually reasonable/justified and happens to be “weird” for society only because it’s not old and comfortable.

Things like religious and racial tolerance that get a lot of noise and waved around a lot? Those don’t need seminars or parades, those come naturally when you’re adult enough to handle someone acting “weird” with their clothes, possessions, hair, etc. without rushing to find an ear to whisper in or facetweet to post.

TLDR: Sure, panel four is an amusing face.

I was going to recommend Sneakyshot to you, but it’s not in the app store anymore. It allowed you to take pics of people without them knowing. #creepin

Hehehe same problem here. Imagine the pain when I got transferred to a new store and suddenly had like 24 new colleagues I needed to memorize names. I still don’t know them all! xD

Also, I second Gillweary – her expression is priceless.

That’s actually a great idea. I’m going to try that at my next family gathering.

I had a professor in college that would take a mugshot picture of every one of his students on the first day of class. By the next class he had everyone’s name memorized.

I just pretend I don’t see them until they greet me, and then I do the “Hi! How are you doing? Great to see you again!”

Did she get the standard “mug shot” of them? Front AND side? Cause, you know, I’d need that.

That 4th panel expression is made of giant piles of win.

Pretty sure I can’t remember peoples names even if I used this technique . A simple “dude” and suchlike seems to be acceptable greetings , just remember to act like you remember them !
