Contender or Pretender

I'm just in from a quick 120 mile ride and had a gas station experience that made me want to start this thread. It is almost a guarantee that while stopped for gas or to take a quick stretch that someone walks over to me to talk about riding, my bike, their bike etc... I've actually met some great folks this way(Contenders) then I've also met some tools(pretenders) W/o doubt it seems that as someone is approaching I can sift out who can ride and who's full of shit.

Just wondering what visual, verbal, audio, cues let you know that it's time to put the tall boots on or to not accept that invite to ride along? Based upon your experiences

What weird or cool experiences have you had just kicking it at the gas station?
