I think my frying pan is teflon-coated, and I have managed to scratch it which I believe is a Bad Thing. Frankly I do lots of bad things.

Teflon is safe when used correctly, but it's pretty easy to fuck up, from what I've gathered - especially if you use metal in it, which is a huuuuge no-no.

So what you are telling me is that I shouldn't cook metal? Dang it. How am I supposed to feed my robot now?

I used to prefer the days when I forgot my name badge (they were company issued and required) and I could wear one of the spares. We should definitely not wear name tags all the time, people just need to be less embarassed about saying "I'm afraid I don't remember your name". I have often forgotten the names of my relatives and ex-partners so it isn't like it's an indication of how little I care about the person.

But if everyone wears nametags, then someone can't know your name without you also knowing theirs. I'd just like to be able to address people I don't know as something other than 'hey you'.

That encourages laziness when it comes to memorizing things, though. Like I seriously only have 2 phone numbers memorized since I got a cell phone - mine and my mom's. Everyone else's I struggle with. Memorizing names is really hard, yes, but how offended would you be if EVERYONE had to look at a nametag in order to remember your name? Not just a few people, literally everyone. I'd be annoyed.
Barmymoo:
No, it's not that I want to know their name - I want to know them as a person and find out whether I can trust them with my name. It is a gut feeling thing. My name is key to who I am and I don't want to just give it out to people.
