"Don't worry about it."
This actually works for a lot of questions.
“Don’t worry about it.”
That is a very different response to that question and one that could very well escalate the situation.
The correct answer is: "nowhere"
"brass city" as you spit near their shoes is good too!

If you're out walking late at night, having bigger dogs help. Ain't nobody gonna come up to me looking for trouble if they see me walking a couple big pit mixes.
Look both ways before crossing...? Not sure what you mean
Edit: If you see something, no the fuck you didn't; snitches get stitches and wind up in ditches having shat their britches, or something like that.
Don't stop or talk when people are trying to talk to you in a public place, especially if you're in a foreign country.
Throw them off their rhythm.
If you really need a pee and can't somewhere to go, put your hand in a bowl of warm water.
If your arm falls asleep, put water on it it'll wake it up
