The funny thing is that even when you run completely natural game, sometimes people will call you out on it. I remember very well the first night we went out for the first workshop I ran.
One of my students was in a 2 set, so I sat down on a bench beside some guy and chatted with him for a minute, then pawned off him into the set by bringing up what we had been talking about to the obstacle my student had. We ran that set for about 5 minutes and we were on such a roll, coming up with such great stuff (all completely natural and off the top of our heads), that the obstacle turns to me and says, "Do you guys rehearse this stuff at home? It's just too smooth, I don't believe you're real you're so smooth!" Fucking hillarious.
Even now, I've had sets that were so convinced that I was running something, that they wouldn't accept that I was just interested in talking to them and getting to meet some new people. Usually you learn how to deal with it and move past that shit test, but sometimes a set will be TOO wowed by you and it isn't a shit test, they just can't accept the fact that you're a cool guy and not trying to play them.
