As I passed them to get off the train, a woman in the group asked me (in a thick, Spanish accent), "Are you a lady?"

I had been prepared for some kind of comment. So I just answered back, "No, are you?" The car doors closed before she could think of a response.
Congratulations on your presence of mind!
