Birthdays and names are two things that I outright struggle with remembering.
Somebody can tell me their name until they are blue in the face but I still won't remember until I am around the person a lot. Same with birthdays. The only way I remember birthdays is by putting reminders on my phone, otherwise, I forget.
Speaking of which, this thread reminded me that I have a friend who's birthday is sometime this month. Dammit
