Oh, that would suck. I can’t even forget everything I want to.
I thought my wife was the only one. [smack]
Not to be confused with Hillary Clinton, who can’t recall anything.
it may be a scourge to some of those who experience it.
I can attest to that, I remember almost everything I have ever seen, heard, or done. It truly is a Curse but it can be fun sometimes. The biggest problem I have is keeping my fat mouth closed when I remember all the little details about an event. It can really get you in trouble for remembering.
Had a girlfriend with that feature..
Does she also recall every dream the same way?
If you said, did, thought of, was accused of, leaned in the direction of.....
...Saying or doing something even slightly questionable.....oh let’s say 40+ years ago..... your wife WILL remind you of it.....in no uncertain terms at most inappropriate times. It’s their job, I suppose.

If you’re a race fan, you’ll know of Donald Davidson. He can recite the finishing order of every Indy 500 since his first in 1964. His memory is unbelievable. Has to be a similar condition.
somefolks even seem to remember things that never occurred!
;)
They even have names................
:(
I have memories of lying in the crib
I don’t think I was four...
There is plenty in my life that I am glad to forget!
Actually, I do have rather detailed and often obsessive memory compared to most people. Friends often marvel at all the details I recall effortlessly from across the past 50+ yrs. Fortunately, I do not remember everything!
The actress Marilu Henner has this. She can be asked about Oct 2, 1982 for example, and she can give every detail; even what she was wearing. Weird.
We can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell ‘em stories that don’t go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Marilu Henner is said to be one of these people.
Which is amazing as she comes across as such
an immature ditz.
Actress Marilu Henner can remember everything.

Marilou Henner (redhead from Taxi) has this.
That’s nothing!
I know a woman who remembers things that NEVER happened!.............
I can’t remember the Alamo.
I wonder how many people can remember the movie your FR name came from without looking it up? Pretty cool.
His was so bad that he couldn't recognize a person if they changed clothes or had a different look on their face.
I remember minuscule things, like page numbers where ads are located from years before, and part numbers from ancient companies. I left one sales job and they didn't worry about me printing off a list of contacts. I memorized the people, their phone numbers and addresses of every single regular contact that I worked with; they knew it and expected that I had enough integrity not to walk off with customers not my own.
The human brain is an amazing thing. Some people seem to have more interconnections (?) and can connect things that most of us can't find with a search engine.
