Communication breakdown
Today, I took my car to be repaired. The mechanic put out his hand when he saw me, so I shook it. He just wanted my keys. FML

It was an honest mistake. Most people would have thought the same as you.

I agree. I often mistake reaching for things as a handshake or saying hello to a customer when they say it, and they happen to be speaking to someone else.

People have started to correlate accidental handshakes with social awkwardness... BS

Force of habit can be a pain sometimes. It's like that Ellen DeGeneres joke, you got your car keys in one hand, and a banana peel in the other. So what do you do? You toss your keys in the trash and take the banana peel to the car.

OP has manners. It's sad that that's mistaken and made embarrassing.

easy mistake to make, at least you didn't put some change there.

This may be completely wrong and way the **** out there, but am I the only one who thinks 4's picture is of a seriously deformed dick with a face? I don't know why, or how, but that's the first thing I thought of..

I might be wrong but I think that's Tobuscus from YouTube, he does small animated skits on his channel and I think that's him

Yay! Free sewing supplies!

Maybe I'm being a little pedantic here, but stitches aren't sewing supplies, but results of sewing.

When he handed you a clipboard with the paperwork on it, did you think he was just asking for your autograph?

Seems to be the case whenever I get handed paperwork. Although the excitement of being asked for the ol' John Hancock is usually quelled when I realize it's yet another court summons.

You should have did what he's accustomed to and bent over instead.

It's like when you use "you too" in the wrong context.

Like at the movie theaters! Ticket Taker: "Enjoy the movie!" Me: "You too.....shit"

Reminds me of something else: Using "I'm sorry" or "my bad" usually works both, except at a funeral... Yikes.
