'Brian'.  Yeah, I pronounce that name flatly too.   

Now 'Robson', I can can get excited about... not like that though... I'll leave now.

This guy expected everyone to remember his name as if he was someone important. It was good you taught him a number of lessons by saying his name wrongly or incoherently. Serve him right! Upvoted!

Bahahahahahaha, Obviously a name or person not worth remembering. I work in a huge school and we have over 50 teachers on staff. With so much changing from year to year and because you work closely with your division group, there are lots of staff who I don't know by name. I refuse to even try to pretend I know their names. I simply wave and say hello. I feel bad when they use my name and I don't reciprocate but it is safer that way. I will even warn the good lady before we attend a party or staff event. "If I don't introduce you personally it is not that I am rude, I just don't know their name." Now, she will introduce herself and they will give the name. I have it down to a science.

I am usually good at remembering names, but I had one work colleague that for the life of me I could never remember her name. Probably because I really couldn't stand being in the same room as her for more than 10 seconds! I did chance upon her in the coffee room, when I happened to catch the tail end of a rather interesting conversation. Another colleague was caught saying...***just because there is snow on the top, doesn't mean there is not a fire in the mountain...*** referring to her snow-white hair and trying not too successfully to entice her out on a date! I just cracked up. From then on, she became known as ***old snowy!*** Problem solved!

😁🤣 This one is one of my favorites, thanks. You have made my day. 👌

Lol. I have done it many times by not calling them the right name though. I just don't call them anything more like "good to see you". You tend to remember names of people that mean something to you. The one girl at work I always get her name mixed up and don't anymore as she sounds like a certain chocolate bar.

It's a sign of getting old @meesterboom
There ye go Boom! :P

Le deseo un buen fin de semana, un abrazo desde Venezuela. Visite mi blog

This happens to me all the time. I don't understand how they remember my name when i can't remember theirs. so i just say 'hi' and hope they don't ask follow up questions.

A coffeeshop as in a place where you buy coffee? 
If you mean coffeeshop as in described below, I think I know why you keep forgetting his name! Did you order cake as well? 
(Note to readers in holland you coffeeshops are places where you can buy weed legally).

I think it's something as normal as drinking coffee The fact of forgetting the name of the person you're talking to lol

I am terrible with names too ...its when i cant remember my own i begin to worry...lol

upvoted and resteemed

I don't need to remember your name. You are simply a part of me, My own self encompasses and overrules you.

Solipsism makes life so much easier.

Honestly, just reference solipsism to him as an excuse. If he finds it amusing, he'll forgive your forgetfulness, if not, he's not worth knowing.
Just end the poor peon's measly existence, after all, he's merely a lesser aspect of thy mighty self, created for your amusement. For what is a gentleman, if not a god. (not a fire. definitely not a fire)

howdy sir meesterboom! haha! a common problem that commoners have! oh, is this a true story? then it's a common problem that ALL of us humans have, no matter how elite they are! " flapping like a tent on a windswept moor." lol. 

you consistently have the most creative use of adjectives of anybody. and I'm not commenting for a  comment or vote. lol. God bless you sir, only took me 12 hours to get to this post today, not bad.

The Origin of Mikey!! Finally! I can't believe my eyes. Why did it take so long to chronicle this crucial tale? He has been such an integral part in detectivity, that I feel like he deserved a post all to his own. Moving forward, if this is any indication, I feel like Mikey would be even more crucial to how everything fits together. Heck, someone might say that he's the key to all of it!

My husband is a cab driver and interacts with so many ppl every day that sometimes when we are out in public off shift, he'll run into someone who recognizes him but he can't remember their name. A cheery, "Hey, how are you?" Works wonders. He also breaks down most times and asks the person their name. :-D

Your blog and postings are very funny and perfect, when reading your post makes me laugh funny. I like it, happy to get to know you.

LOL. So at what point did you really remember his name, but pretended not to, in order to see his reaction? Good ole Mikey. Yes he has much to learn if he wants to survive prison, er um the real world.

Ha ha

Well, theoretically you should remember his name now right XD LoL! Poor ~~Mikey~~ Brian XD

A friend's favourite technique for forgotten names was just using friend labels, the ones he gave me as examples were the usual "mate", "buddy" and because he was wanting to be ridiculous/amusing, "chief".

I used to think my inability to remember names was a terrible flaw on my part as no one else seemed to struggle, later found out it's actually to do with how my brain is wired (slightly oddly) so I warn people now that I'll try to remember but it will probably take me numerous meetings before I remember their name.  And for gaming/online people they really need to introduce themselves by whatever name they want me to use first otherwise they'll be stuck with the nym forever XD
