If you insist on being non verbal, that's your business. Of course that just increases the chances of misunderstandings, confrontations, and so on by a small to moderate percentage. That is the chance you take by not declaring your action. You asked if you did something wrong. I don't think you did any thing wrong at all. You just have to be ready for an occasional dispute over what your intent was.
You state you have a number of reasons why you don't verbalize action. Fair enough. Still your business. I sincerely hope that "trying to look cool" is not one of them.
Maybe it is not.
