Having an eidetic memory can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending upon the circumstances.  Just ask Dr. Sheldon Cooper or Dr. Spencer Reid.

This question reminded me of a time when I went to a hardware store and a salesman came up to me and said he had a photographic memory and asked me to describe what I needed. After I told him what I wanted he ran off in another direction. After what seemed like a long time I went looking for the salesperson and found him talking to another customer. When I approached him he asked me what I needed and I said " Your the one with the photographic memory?"
