Not even joking something similar happened to me.
A dude told me he had a gun, he was trying to rob me or something. I just told him that was neat, like "oh cool.. this dude is just into guns or something".
It wasn't till later I realized he was trying to rob me. He just stared at me like I was a moron and walked away...
I wonder how many potentially dangerous situations I've obliviously avoided thanks to being hard of hearing.
If it's a random stranger trying to talk to me on the bus, After I say "pardon?" thrice, I usually give up and default to random response noises like "uh huh", "hmm interesting", "that's a lot to think about", polite giggling, enthusiastic nodding, or "oh that's neat, good luck!" based on what I think they might be talking about.
I'd have no idea if I avoided anything nefarious because I have no idea what any of the conversation was about.
Though one time an uber driver asked me to marry him. I thought his English was just bad combined with my poor hearing, and he was telling me he was getting married soon, so I was saying "oh that sounds lovely". Fortunately he also found it funny when I realised what I'd accidentally agreed to.
