Technical note: "Happy Eid Mubarak" is a phrase is a bit like "Happy Merry Christmas", since "Eid Mubarak" translates as "Blessed Eid".
"Eid Mubarak" is fine as is.
"Eid" is the day, and "Mubarak" means merry/blessed. So "Happy Eid" could be the sentiment if you're uncomfortable with pronouncing "Mubarak" (which is completely phonetic, by the way) or just "Eid Mubarak."

Just say "Eid Mubarak" with a warm smile, should be good. Could be followed by a friendly hug and a gift of sweetmeats but that's mostly for family & friends.
And for the curious: the proper response to an "Eid Mubarak!" is "Khair Mubarak!"

You misjudge me. Its not all people . Its just the particularly peaceful ones which I think we should be wary of.
