forgetters
Those who blank
Forgetters are people who forget things.
The word appears most often in contrast with rememberers, distinguishing those who hold onto the past from those who let it go: The world is divided into forgetters and rememberers.
Someone might be called a forgetter of names, dates, or promises.
