The cashier at the liquor store I go to all the time is my aunt. I see that cashier all the time because I'm always buying liquor. I see my aunt all the time. I'm so faceblind that I never put together that she worked there until a couple of hours ago when she mentioned one of my recent purchases.

Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black, Russian Doll) was one of the kids that would sometimes visit Pee Wee on Pee Wee's Playhouse.

To be fair, context is a major part of recognition. Especially coupled with even slight faceblindness, it’s relatively easy to totally miss someone otherwise familiar if you’re not expecting them.

To be clear, I'm not mocking the guy. I'm moderately prosopagnosic myself so I kinda get it, but that's one of the more out-there examples I've seen

One day when I lived in a pretty sketchy area, I was walking to my car and a crackhead I'd never seen before stopped me. "Hey, Mike right?" He asked, pointing at me. "Nope" I said. "You sure?" Still pointing at me. ...Like, what do you even say to that? "Haha you got me, I was Mike all along!"

I'm not, like, diagnosed faceblind but I have a real hard time recognizing people when they change their hair. This greatly amuses my wife, who has an IMDB-like level of recognition and recall for actors. The other day we were watching Moulin Rouge and I sighed, "Man, Gary Oldman is so great" and she couldn't stop laughing.

People who know me from work when I used to work in a warehouse sometimes give me the drunken "OH I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO GREET ME OUTSIDE OF WORK EH?" if they see me on the town. They probably don't realize that I saw like 100-200 guys in work clothes every day and only knew them by the company name on their jacket back. It's a perfect example of "everyone knows the monkey; the monkey knows no-one".

Used to know a Jewish-Mayan guy named Jaime, who pronounced it Hymie. No sudden realization here, he was s solid dude.
