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.
Hope it wasn't covered in oil or grease lol

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

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
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.
Don't worry, I do that all the time.

Up vote him for being a tool
#8 your comment isn't worthy of a downvote
You should have did what he's accustomed to and bent over instead.
Shut up.
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.
I always find myself doing this!
I've done the exact thing with a pizza delivery man except he wanted his pen back
