The streets can be rough. Don’t be this guy—a few simple precautions will keep the muggers off your back.
You Will Need
- Pockets
- Worn clothing
- Angry glare
Step 1: Put away iPod
Put away that iPod. Stick it in your pocket until you’re somewhere safe.
Step 2: Put wallet in front pocket
If you carry a wallet, don’t keep it in your back pocket. Instead, put it in a front pocket. Better still, keep money in your socks.
Step 3: Wear stained shirt
Instead of a pink polo, try a white T-shirt—with stains.
If you must wear expensive clothes, consider buying a cheap jacket at a thrift store. Once you’re at your destination you can throw it away.
Step 4: Don't act like tourist
Stop staring up at buildings like a tourist. Try to seem familiar with your environment. Periodically yell, “Benny! Where you at!”
Step 5: Adopt angry glare
Adopt an angry glare.
If you’re having trouble looking mad, imagine you just bought a used T.V. But when you got home and plugged it in, it was broke.
Step 6: Project confidence
While maintaining your angry glare, do your best to project confidence. Like dogs, muggers can smell fear. Pretend that you’re a judo master, or that you have retractable adamantium claws.
Because of its tiny number of residents, Vatican City has the highest per capita crime rate of any country in the world.
