You remember me don't you?

So I’m super procrastinating about doing work right now and I’m at the University… so I ran a small social experiment. Given that 1)most people have a horrid memory of people that they meet, 2) people are generally more eager to not seem rude, I postulate that if I see a random person and say ‘Hi’ in a friendly to personal manner that they will look confused for a bit but say ‘Hi’ back. Now the next part is harder… engage the new person in a general but specific incidental conversation. Ex: talk about the time where we were at a party with [insert common name here] and we had a great conversation… and how are they doing with courses this semester? This bit really takes your skill in bluffing and maintaining a general enough conversation, but with a specific façade, that the other person really has to stretch to place you in his/her memory and in the process offer you clues upon which you can build the conversation further…. lol.

Yeah I do have too much time on my hands, but that’s only because I’ve got not enough time to do what I need to do. Okay back to work…

Actually write me back if you have ever tried it... and if not then what are you waiting for?
