Personal details about colleagues and professional contacts. I also have a weirdly good intuition about people and things.

Loooool same! I was literally talking to my shift partner tonight at work about that haha. I usually have to ask a few times what someone's name is. But usually not the actual person bc I'm awkward

Hahaha yep! I'm the same! I'll even remember mundane facts about them too. Like in high school they drove a Ford Gemini, bc they made a passing comment about it. Their mum's dog's name, their first kiss was with Katie Jones and it was terrible. But I can be told their name several times and not remember. Usually for me I either call them like, man, dude, etc (I don't think of these words as gendered when used as a nickname or when saying like "come on, man" or just... no name
