What's a worse feeling then seeing someone that you know damn well you know, but not being able to put a name to the face? How crappy does that make you feel? Or even worse, when you don't recognize somebody you really should, because they've really changed or something?
What a horrible situation. You gotta play it off like you know, and hope they don't catch on to the ruse. Or else you look like a big colossal asshole. You end up walking this social tightrope until the name either comes to you like a bolt of lightning, or somebody else drops the name. Of course, then you have to keep the poker face in the hopes they didn't notice your "Oh RIGHT!" look on your face.
Happened to me today. I think I did okay. It sure could have been worse. Phew.

That's happened too many times and I always politely smile hoping I can put face to name afterwards. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. :)
