Simplified Meaning:

This quote is a humorous way of saying that the person doesn’t want to remember someone’s face because they don't like them. Imagine you meet someone who is very rude to you. Normally, you might try to remember the faces of people you meet, but with this rude person, you’d prefer to forget their face altogether. It's like if you had a bad experience at a restaurant and decided you won't go back there again. Just as you’d choose to forget that restaurant, you’re choosing to forget this person’s face because they were unpleasant. It’s a light-hearted insult that shows a strong dislike without being too harsh. If you encounter someone who treats you badly, it can sometimes be better for your peace of mind to just forget about them. So, this quote can be used as a way to cope with negative people by choosing to ignore them and not letting them take up space in your memory.
