Bummer! Next time Be Prepared! Recite some foreign sounding phrases in your head, dont worry about making any sense, just start babbling like you are a Foreign Tourist!
When hassled by any American authority figure, look confused and reply, "Voll Le Le futballparken? Too too de swier, too too de schwar?" Use some grunts like a German, roll your R's like an Irishman, throw in a 'Ko Niichi wah Anjin san'? like out of Shogun...just let it rip and go all babbly like a spirit filled Pentecostal and make up your own stuff even!!!...
As you babble, wave your arms around all animated and stuff, like an Italian, Look all puzzled and frown, like a Russian, confused, point to some hotel or beach house off to the side as if you are staying there, and appear to explain they told you it was alright, just dont use ANY ENGLISH or Spanish either...
It works on Cops when you get pulled over for a ticket! They just dont want to deal with some damn tourist foreigner, especially if they think you are from Europe!...This also works when a guy is being panhandled!...same deal, just start babbling like you dont understand what is going on, maybe toss a few foreign coins you found at them for full effect, and keep moving!
If you need further assistance on this matter, I suppose you could pull some good foreign lines off the Youtubes now a days...watch some "How To cook a chicken" vids from Bulgaria or some damn place, or 'How to thatch a hut' in Zanzibar, then watch the same thing in Chinese! Mash them both together, commit this babble to memory, and you should be sound as a pound from here on out!
It really works!...Especially in a barely monolingual culture like America...! Just Be Prepared...I learned in the Scouts!...saved me a fortune over the years! Plus, if you ever find yourself in a Pentecostal church for some reason, by gosh! Talk about a score! You'll be nominated as Deacon before the service is over! You got this buddy!
