It's kind of ironic (just talking about questions like this on your other question, so doubly ironic), but I have used almost this exact scenario to describe to people why I DGAF what other people think.
I don't actually use this scene as a reference, but what I do is describe something like this:
"Say I walk into a bar and I'm having a beer and the guy a couple stools down calls me a piece of shit, an asshole or something. This doesn't bother me in the slightest. Why? Because this guy doesn't know me at all. He's got some internal thing going on, whatever it is. I triggered him with my height, weight, gender, race, clothing, accent, or maybe just because I didn't say hi to him. Whatever. The point is, his judgment has no validity (even if it's accidentally accurate). So it upsets me about 0%.
Now on the other hand, take my sister who has known me all my life, I tell her lots of things, she's watched me grow, knows how I think, my values, understands who I am much better than most people on the planet. Now if SHE tells me I'm a piece of shit, or even tells me something milder like I'm being a bit selfish, I will listen and want to know more about her judgement and what she's thinking and why. I DO care, because she is reliable source of feedback for me."
I might even offer to buy old surly pants a drink, depending on my mood.

I would start speaking in Latin.

Look confused, and begin speaking French, or possibly German… eh, although German may have a negative historical connotation. Spanish wouldn't really work, as there are too many people in the states who speak Spanish. But yeah, just look confused and start speaking French, I mean if they believe I don’t even speak English, wtf could I possibly have lied about? So I’d still go with a cute, pouty, innocent looking “Je suis désolé, mais je ne parle très bien l'anglais!” Which basically translates to “I’m so sorry, I don’t speak English very well”
Plus, the biggest thing working in my favor in this crazy situation is, when most guys meet me, their FIRST instinct is most assuredly not to start hurling unsubstantiated abuse and invective at me, I can absolutely promise you that for a fact!

That actualy happened to me (kinda). I was to meet some co-wokers at a bar after work. I walked in and saw that there were no stools accept at the bar. I asked the guy sitting next to it if the stool was taken. He said "f-you", my initial reaction was to use the last 6 years of karate on him. Instead, I sat next to him and bought him a beer. I proceeded to play with his mind, by continuing to have small talk with him. You should have seen his angry face as I sat at the table with my friends. I was afraid to use the bathroom...
Leave that guy/girl alone. Ignore them. Such people.
Would not care for what they say, as I know I am not that kind of a person. It is their virw regarding me. Let them keep it to themselves. I will not be taking it.
Ignore them, they are just looking for a fight and I have no interest in giving them what they want.
Probably just ignore them unless they became a problem.
Tell the bartender that this idiot has had to much to drink in those exact words
I would assume he was on the losing side of one of the case I worked on.
I would be so confused and would be laughing my ass off.
Tel them to f***k off and if they continue put them to sleep
I would tell them, “no need to self project”
i would say "Have we met?"
I would just ignore them
Some guy is clearly asking for a bar fight.
Ask them how they knew.
Ignore them while laughing.
