Today, a guy from my school came into my work. I know him but I'd forgotten his name. I didn't want to be rude and ask for his name when he probably expected me to know it, so, thinking I was clever, I said, "How do you spell your name again?" His name is Rob. FML

I always play the "how old are you?". "I dont believe you", "prove it, show me your license". Flattery makes people blind :)

Meh - I know a Robb or two. You could have made a semi graceful recovery - "Thought so, but my (fake) cousin has an extra 'b' in his".

Ask for his name, then when he tells you, respond with, "No, your last name"

You should have said "no, no, no, your last name!"

A method that I use is asking for their name, and when they tell me, just say "no, I meant your last name. Works every time.
