[Echosoftom 3]

1. How are you with names and faces? - I almost always recognize faces, it's names that get me.

2. Has someone ever called you by the wrong name and you did not correct them because it was too awkward? - Not that I can remember but recently I ran into an ex co-worker at a store and it wasn't until later that day that I realized I was calling her by the wrong name the whole time we were talking. :icon_redface:

3. Have you ever pretended to be someone else on the phone? - Yeah, prank calls when I was a kid.

4. Would you ever go along being nice to someone you don't like just because everyone else asks you to? - I probably would since the only way I would not treat someone civil is if they've done something extremely malicious or mean to me.

5. Be honest, is the grass always greener on the other side? - Honestly, no.

one of our students calls me Gina with a "G" as in "grass." I've never corrected her.

[Starfish 0]

1. How are you with names and faces? Great with faces, not so great with names. I'm always bumping into people I recognize from my kids' various activities and cannot always recall their names.

2. Has someone ever called you by the wrong name and you did not correct them because it was too awkward? Not that I can remember, but I am often mistaken for other people. I must have a generic face.

3. Have you ever pretended to be someone else on the phone? Like Gina, I do it with telemarketers all the time.

4. Would you ever go along being nice to someone you don't like just because everyone else asks you to? I'm nice to lots of people I don't particularly like.

5. Be honest, is the grass always greener on the other side? Not always, but occasionally.

[Dynabeat Tim 0]

1. names and faces: no, not at all.

2. correcting ? yes, I stop them and correct my name

3. yes, when playing jokes on friends and family. My own mom don't recognize me.

4. no, I would avoid that situation rather than be something I'm not.

5. no, but we tend to think it is, and that still doesn't stop me from believing it is.

[AmyLou 5]

1. How are you with names and faces? good with faces, names not so much.

Good with faces, terrible with names.

2. Has someone ever called you by the wrong name and you did not correct them because it was too awkward?

The girl that parks next to me has called me "Kathy" for years. I think

it's funny. Plus, I like the name Kathy. LOL

3. Have you ever pretended to be someone else on the phone?

Sure all the time as a kid. My friends and I were master pranksters.

4. Would you ever go along being nice to someone you don't like just because everyone else asks you to?

Sure

5. Be honest, is the grass always greener on the other side?

No, I don't think so. Might seem like it sometimes though.

[KansasPettyFan 1]

1. How are you with names and faces? Great with faces, names not so much. For example, I learned last weekend that Patty's last name is not really Petty. She told me her real last name and I can't remember what it was.

2. Has someone ever called you by the wrong name and you did not correct them because it was too awkward? Not that I remember. But I do have on occasion someone call me Terri, assuming that is what I shorten Teresa to. I don't. lol

[kira 0]

1. How are you with names and faces?

Terrible.

2. Has someone ever called you by the wrong name and you did not correct them because it was too awkward?

People mispronounce my name all the time. I may have just introduced myself and they saw it wrong immediately. I don't care.

3. Have you ever pretended to be someone else on the phone?

Now that you all have mentioned telemarketers and prank calls of youth, certainly.

4. Would you ever go along being nice to someone you don't like just because everyone else asks you to?

It's going to happen this weekend. I can do it on short doses but if I had to get in a car and ride 6 hours with a jerk, I'd likely have to fake a nap, read a book, amuse myself within my head or something. I would likely glaze over before becoming mean.

5. Be honest, is the grass always greener on the other side?

My grass is drought tolerant.
