my friend and I met some guys at a café Italy once and we told them we were from Alaska and kept going on about how dark it gets in winter and how it's so hard to sleep in summer
@bradshaw
i’m obsessed LMAO
@weill
Speak with an Australian accent really ups the ante
@bradshaw
ok i can only do british but one time i did it as a bit accidentally near a british person and they asked what part of england i was from and i had to fess up </3
@weill
It takes a unique type of sociopathy (that I wouldn't know anything about) to double down in that instance and demand there's a Soho in Sydney as well.
@bradshaw
LMAOOOO
@aphoenix
Almost this exact scenario is detailed in a song called Try Again by Andy Shauf (he, a Canadian, imitates a Brit’s accent to flirt, and she calls him out on it).
His response is: “I’m sorry, I’m from a different part of the country.” 😉 So that’s always an option too if you find yourself in that exact bind again — pick an obscure part most Brits haven’t been to!

And if you're a high achiever enjoy telling an underarchiever bio. (I wouldn't have known he was a celebrity if his GF hadn't insisted I Google his name; he was not amused.)
@bradshaw
recognizing a he/him celebrity isn’t in my repertoire either i totally get it. they need to stop all having the same haircuta
@louise
Great image
@jams_jems
This works with chatty Uber drivers, too. You can have any type of fantasy life for 10 minutes
@bradshaw

With one joke I convinced a friend-of that I was a high-powered attorney. The closest I ever came to law school was an occasional lunch in the cafe.
@bradshaw
as a recreational lawyer, i need your take on people recreationally taking the LSAT as soon as possible.
@quinlaninteriors
That seems like a terrible use of time!
@rebeccaatwood
Careful, this is how Hilaria Baldwin ended up lying about being Italian
@rebeccaatwood
(or is it Spain that she claims)
@bradshaw
wait no way……… mama mia
@notoriousjgp
My sister retired from an HR position at a lab and at her retirement party, I kept telling people about my “particle accelerator experiment” that I needed to get back to. I work in tech marketing and have no business anywhere near a lab 😅
@bradshaw
this is an all-timer bc wtf does that even begin to mean. incredible avoidance of follow ups at the HR party, queen.
@apriltett
My favorite thing.
@meezstephanie
I love it.
Lower stakes but maybe good practice? Just use a ridiculous alternate name at Starbucks or other places where they call out your name.IN University we were Kafka, Joan of Ark, etc
@camey
EL OH EL, this is epic

I used to play a songwriter at bars. Just took out a notebook and asked strangers for words.
