Tell them your mother wouldn't approve of being friends with biker chicks and drug addicts. Watch them walk, no RUN, away from you.... :D
No, I haven't done this before, but I think if you think about what I said, you will get a good idea of what to do....

Be blunt and honest. Just tell them that no you can't have my number and no I really am not into hanging out. If you try and beat around the bush then there going to think that you want to hang out. But if your just up front with them they will respect that.

Whatever your forte:
...when approached, just tell them, "I bet you are a very nice person, but I am not interested in broadening my friendships, at this time."
...to avoid confrontations, as you walk, look straight ahead. Some people may think you like them, or are interested in them by YOUR body language. Your body language may only involve a glance from you in their direction, a nod of your head, or just the idea of stopping and listening to them.

What's wrong with hanging out with people? Getting to know new people and expanding your social network isn't something that easy for a lot of people, but if people are approaching you, than you've got it easier than most! You should take advantage of the fact that people are interested in you and give them a chance before judging them. You never know, one day people may be less interested...

Say,"I have enough friends already, but thanks for asking."
Seriously, I think you think you are all that. You think that by hanging out with someone, you are going to get "uncool cooties." You are terrified of what some "cool" person might think about your assocaitions.
You asked this question in Etiquette and not Psychology, you don't want help to stop being an arrogant, shallow schmoo, you just want to reject people without them beating you to a pulp.
Try this: Thank you SOOO much! (eye contact, lots of teeth when you smile, twinkle your eyes.)
Then walk around the corner and toss their information in the trash.
If they call you, say,"That would be great, but I am tied up right now."
If they press for a future "cooties exchange" tell them you are terribly busy right now, and will call when you have a free moment. Then toss their information again.
Usually, the dumbest people will give up at this point and think you are a shallow arrogant schmoo who thinks he is too good for them.

Well, I want to start out by pointing out to the people attacking you for being shallow, that I noticed that you laughed after your first statement (that IS what LOL means, people) and you said you realized it didn't mean anything. Second, that's just really weird to me that random strangers are asking you to hang out. Maybe you could just say you don't feel comfortable giving your info to complete strangers or something like that. This may lead to the pushier people arguing about how can they get to know you, but you can always just say no thank you then. I'm curious, do these people usually say this after having had some sort of conversation where maybe they felt like you hit it off? If you enjoyed the conversation, maybe you should give them a chance.

Whenever someone asks you to hang out with them on a specific date, you can say "Thank you for the invite, unfortunately, I have other plans. I will let you know if I'm available." Keep saying this to them, if they keep questioning you about and eventually, they will stop asking you.
This is another excuse saying that you're busy.

just be honest it hurts more when you fake that you sort of want to and never call! that's just silly and playing games..
just be honest
i'm sorry but now is not the best time for me to make new friends...
I'm sorry i'm just not interested but thanks!
if they say lets exhcange numembers just stay vague and say no thanks!

if they bug you about it then tell them they are bugging you and that will not change your mind!
