And I am always grateful for afterthought. Jennifer: My husband does the same blaming it on a faulty memory (forgetting the other person's name, not mine). I usually stick out a hand and introduce myself, somewhere along the way. dawn: Brilliant! Reciting a nursery rhyme would at least be amusing! Jillian: I think that's the best course of action to take. Good for you! Brent:

It used to bother me, but now I just speak up and start talking. Pretend like I'm not... pfft! This has happened to me a few times. It used to bother me, but now I just speak up and start talking.

You just stand there like a knob, feeling exceedingly self-conscious, while they natter away about subjects known only to them, and completely ignore you. I mean, come on, people! If you have a guest and they don't know anyone in the room, the first thing you do is politely introduce them and explain to the in-the-knows the reason for your guest's presence. This is basic etiquette.

We should probability count ourselves fortunate that thought entered the equation at all, after all afterthought is better than no thought.
