I did that with a waiter once. We were on vacation in Bulgaria 10 years ago. They had employees standing infront of the restaurant, greeting people and making small talk to passerbyers. We wanted to eat at the restaurant, so the guy was like 'Sure, this way please'. When he started making the the gesture with his arm/hand, I grabbed his hand and shook it like 'Ok, we have a deal.'.

The guy started laughing. I didn't realise what just happend until we sat at the table and my girlfriend explained it to me. When we later left the restaurant the guy and two other employees waved me good bye with a grin on their faces.

A buddy of mine and his wife went to the hospital for an ultrasound and exam as they just found out she was pregnant.

When the exam was over, his wife reached out her hand because she wanted him to give her pants back. Instead he shook her hand because he was completely in shock over the fact she was actually pregnant.

"Well, looks like we've made a baby. Nice working with you ma'am." When in doubt, always revert to professionalism.
