If someone's pronouns are any/all, what should I use or how should I determine how to refer to you and what pronouns to use?

I want to be respectful but if they say they don't care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to "they" because choosing a gender for them feels weird... am I wrong?

I'm probably the least qualified person to comment on this, but I would probably just default to their name.

That's Bob's coffee

Those are Sarah's keys.

Less chance of fucking it up, IMO

What do the people who are bad with names do?

Audibly shit their pants, obviously

Get my name wrong all the fucking time. "oh I bet you get that a lot"

Jesus fuck I wish people would just misgender me so I could get righteously indigent instead of constantly correcting people with a smile.
