Here’s A Hack For Whenever You Forget Someone’s Name

TikTok has brought us a lot of entertainment lately. It has also taught us a thing or two that we may not have known before.

The video platform allows users to share videos of all kinds. Singing, dancing, funny content, and even educational hacks. My favorite thing to watch on TikTok is the life hacks. Some of them I already knew about, others I am discovering for the first time like so many others.

We've shared several Tik Tok hacks in the past from how to clean your dishwasher, an easier way to make mac and cheese to new ways to eat pickles. There are so many life hacks to be found on Tik Tok, but one that I recently stumbled across is a true life hack.

However, one Tik Tok user discovered a genius way to get someone's name without embarrassing yourself by asking who they are.
