Chat up lines
My flatmate's bosses son came to stay with us in Bermondsey, South London - he was an 18 year old from Los Angeles. He was unbelievably cocky, and told us that his chatup lines never failed.
He decided to try one in a pub near the Millwall ground, against our advice, on a girl at the bar. This was the conversation:

"Hey there! Is your dad a thief?"
"What the FUCK did you just say to me?"
{flustered} "..because he stole the stars and"
"Do you want me to break your fucking neck?"
"hey, hey, sorry, I just...."
"FUCK OFF".

He almost cried.
