Do I have "Deutsche Bahn Expert" stamped on my forehead?

I was asked for directions on the U-Bahn three times today: once by an old German Hausfrau, the second time at Hauptbahnhof by a British family (I nearly shrugged the guy off until I recognized my Muttersprache), and the third time by a German woman.

I just think it's hysterical. I've been in the country for 6 days, and my knowledge of its native language is passable at best. I must still be emmenating some sort of approachable afterglow from America.
