Halloween and faceblindness

Post Reply New Topic

So over the past week I have been getting email that I thought was spam from a sender who showed up in my gmail as "Me."

the funny thing was that the sender kept including pictures of herself in a wig. I deleted the emails, figuring that the picture files contain some sort of virus or something....

Today I received an email containing an image of this person wearing a very unusual Halloween costume with the same wig, and then I realized from the topic of a recent conversation that these photos were all of my best friend, who I failed to recognize three times this week. No wonder she was saying stuff like "does your old email work?"

Faceblindness sucks at Halloween!! !

My husband is taking our daughter around the neighbours' doors tonight. He only recognises a handful of neighbours, out of context, and doesn't always remember who lives in what house. So, he'll come home and attempt to describe some of the people and I'll be none the wiser about who they met. He's been known to describe someone as having black hair, when their hair is blonde, so it's fun. Strangely, he doesn't even acknowledge that he has a problem.
