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

omg that exact thing happened to me about 2 months ago! I was so embarassed. I sympathize with you op!

Anyone else reminded of socially awkward penguin...?

I gave someone a low-five by mistake when she was asking for my empty soda can. Everybody's made that mistake a few times in our lives.

I've done that. What a positive way to screw up though lol

At least you didn't just hand him your keys when he was trying to shake your hand! If the guy thought anything negative about you from that experience, he's got issues.

I have done the exact same thing except it was with a waiter at a restaurant who was asking for my used sugar packets
