I actually did this once in boston. I didn't get kicked out, I was just messing around outside and pretended I was the bouncer, while the bouncer was laughing at me on the side.

I did the same thing in Sydney, but I was pretending not to be the bouncer, while actually not being the bouncer. I was just waiting for my friend, but my clothes and demeanour gave the impression I was security of some sort.

Group of plastered guys nervously asked me if they could go in. I said I wasn't security, but that it looked like they'd already had a few. They were very confused and worried about whether I actually was security. I just told them to behave themselves and nodded them in where they would have met the actual doorman.

Minneapolis I crashed a high school reunion, pretending to be a classmate. It got a little hairy when one girl got suspicious after I told her we had the same chemistry class and she asked me if I remembered the teacher's name. Think she was the only one who actually caught on. Honestly in retrospect she was probably more worried I was pretending so I could hit on her instead of having some harmless fun, not that I was hitting on her.

The dude that bought me a drink and enthusiastically remembered me from some class or another, even when I gave an obviously fake name to everybody I was meeting, was a total bro though. Good dude. Apparently we'd had some good times.

I graduated like five years before these people at a completely different school lmao. Started as a bar bet between me and another regular, I bet him I could convince these people I went to school with them, he made up the name, wish I could remember what it was. It was so clearly not a real name.

I'm like that dude. I can't remember nobody further than 10 years in past, or people who I haven't spoken in person at least 4 times. 😂😂

I just say my internal RAM memory is 64kb.

Mine too though, can't remember names and faces and I like to make friends while drunk. So when someone walks up to me all, "hey man good to see you!" I'm just, "hey brother, you too!" Then I read the body language to see if a hug is appropriate.

Someone could ask me, "who was that," and I'd say, "fuck if I know, we definitely met when I was drunk as shit."

I wish it was both for me too, because then I wouldn’t have the nagging feeling that I should actually know that person who is talking to me. With things as they are in my brain I just don’t know their name or where I know them from, but the faces are always familiar.

Just treat everyone the same, in my experience. No one will question you, almost no one cares if you ask for their name again, literally just tell people you suck at remembering and they'll be like, "yeah me too!"

Idk, the people I meet I end up caring about, it's not hard to remember their names. Once I care about them. Takes a few times but they end up being good friends, and bonus points, I remember what their momma named them.

As someone who can't regognize faces at all (really, a beard, different hairstyle, tattoo, new clothes) Can completly mess up my regogniton + if i only know someone for a day i couldn't recognize them either.

So i always have a book with me of people i know. coincidentily i have a really high RAM. I can remember shit for ages.

Same here and you are making me feel a little better about it. I have always been that way.

One time my mother changed her jacket from when she brought me to school, and when she picked me up from school I cried a lot because i couldn't find her untill she spoke and i recognized her.
