Idk why but you reminded me of this story lol.

I had a neighbor for a while who would walk around talking to himself. The closest I got to him, I was walking to the dumpsters with the trash and he was walking the other way towards me. As I was walking by I nodded and said "how's it going" y'know as ya do, and he responded with a totally normal "fuck you american you come to africa I kill you yadda yadda." I laughed and said "Ok you have a nice one too" and everything was cool, but I probably would have been worried if I hadn't had a gun concealed on me at the time.

Luckily I didn't have to use it! Closest I've got was a different dude who pulled a knife on me and my then-gf in a parking lot in '19. I moved the concealment and grabbed the grip and for some unknown reason he decided to walk away without pressing the issue further. I assume he found someone else to rob, no clue what happened after I bought my groceries and left.
