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

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

I gotta hand it to you. You must be really shaken up.

20/ really? Question fail

Well then, that's a rude mechanic.

It's not that bad OP many people make this mistake

Not a big deal...I do that...more in the essence of shaking of thanking him for his work previously and that I trust him with my car...

Nothing wrong with a surprise hand shake.

Haha. The same happened with my chemistry teacher. She just wanted the chalk back and I shook her hand. Everyone in the class laughed but she defended me saying that she would have done the same. I thought she was congratulating me for resolving the exercise.

Honest mistake it's all good

It's ok, OP. That's one awkward mistake everybody does. No need to feel ashamed.

Don't worry, one day you won't be able to read minds and something like this will happen to you. Then you will get to be the dumbass!

Unless he was rude about it, that's not an awful situation. It's just neutral.
