It's crazy how often these simple rules are violated.

Sometimes someone will tell a story to be that involves 3+ people, and they'll slowly switch to using pronouns instead of names. I feel a bit like a jerk for continually interrupting them to clarify, but only when they're unfazed and happy to provide the clarification do I realize that this is just how their conversations usually go.

Yes. I often feel like I'm being too pedantic when asking for clarification about who is doing what from people since I do it way more often than others, and honestly can't tell if I'm just not thinking hard enough about it to intuit the likely correct answer or most people just let it go much longer and eventually work it out from context or assume and risk being wrong.
