Hey there, do I know you?

Most of the time I hate when people do that. I can't place a face and a name together making me feel stupid.

So I resorted to many different tricks in order to find out their names:

1. Ask them for them to add you on Face Book.
2. Continue talking to them, then ask someone else what their name is.
3. Try to see if the put their name on notebooks or papers.
4. Ask then to add themselves on your phone.
5. If the the class takes roll, pay attention and wait to see when they respond.

If all else fails, risk looking like a big-fat-jerk and ask them what their name is.
