On Nametags and Gratitude

My desire to be more grateful to people to whom I owe that conflicts with my absolute hatred of nametags. For instance, I went to a wedding lately where we were asked to wear nametags at the reception. Also, I went to a very nice seminar where they were always asking us to wear nametags. What to do with this extremely messy situation? I lately arrived at a somewhat satisfactory compromise: wear the nametag on one shoulder and my hair on that same shoulder. Conveniently, the nametag is there, but mostly hidden.
