Men thinking they're clever for noticing I'm foreign: *creepy smile* *wagging finger* “now... I detect an accent!” No shit you do, buddy. We’re in Scotland and I'm from fucking Ohio

Pretty sure some of them are trying to be polite and not guessing what part of North America you are from. Asking a Canadian if they are a Yank is pretty much a no-no. But creepy smiles and wagging fingers are never a good idea unless you are playing a witch in a panto.
It's not polite, it's patronising. Saying 'Where are you from?' or 'You sound like you're from North America!' is absolutely fine. This is a classic middle-aged male tactic and it's grating.
