Odd tidbit about me: I have a difficult time distinguishing people who have the same relationship to me in my head, so I have to mentally force them into different roles.
So to distinguish my siblings I categorize them as "oldest sibling" and "middle sibling". My grandmothers are "grandma, nice" and "grandmother, mean". Co-workers get split by job description: "purchase order coworker" and "quality control coworker" and "machine repair coworker". Don't even ask about how I deal with my cousins.
This also applies to people I've never met. Amy Poehler, Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlet Johansen, and Tina Fey are "that actress everyone hates" (and Kristen Stewart escaped this unholy conglomerate by becoming "that queer one who's actually cool").
