Today, one of my regulars approached me at work, arms extended for a hug. He's always in a bad mood, so I figured for once he wasn't grumpy and I enthusiastically hugged him. Turns out he was just stretching his arms. He told me I was crazy and pretty much ran out of my store. FML

For all the people who think this is strange you have to understand hes been a regular at my store for 2 years. Its not like it was some random person. Hes so depressed and angry every time, so when I finally saw him for once not looking upset and like he wanted a hug I went for it. Silly mistake on my part but what can I say I always hope for the best in people. He came back today and apologized. See a friendly hug goes a long way. So you negative people need a hug.

Your intentions were kind and thoughtful, OP. He's just a grouch! It sucks to mistake something for something else, but at least you didn't awkwardly run past him with your arms still in the air. :)

Don't mind him. He's probably miserable with his own life.

Actually I am OP I'm new to this site so when I first had written this I didn't create an account but to comment on it you have to be a member so I made an account but mixed up the MM and the AA ... and yes he's MUCH friendlier now :)
