It seems like you have this "dance": he does stuff to get your reaction and you react. You want to break that pattern, but you continue to dance along.

Now what you could have done, after him saying he forgot, is to continue your conversation like it did not bother you a slightest (I hope him missing MC was not the only topic of your conversation) and then cut the conversation shot and go about your business. Oh, honey, I have a call on another line, good night!
