Call the Electric Company to observe this. They probably will want to replace the meter. On the other hand I can't think of an easier way to lower your electric bill. But dangerous, I wouldn't think so.
If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside. The circuit breakers can be either just below the meter on the outside on opposite it inside the garage. It would usually be very close to where the electric connection to the house is. The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.
Yes.Additional InformationBreakers and fuses protect the wires to prevent fire. The 100 Amp breaker in the meter base (main) protects the wire from the meter base to the breaker panel. The 50 Amp breaker in the breaker panel protects the wire from the breaker panel to the outlet. Sometimes the 100 amp main breaker is located in the panel.If you are asking "Can you use two 50 amp breakers for the main breakers with a 100 amp service, then yes you can. The National Electrical Code allows you to use up to 6 breakers as the main overcurrent protection.
It is EXTREMELY dangerous, but yes, people do steal electrical service- usually be bypassing the electric meter- and yes, it IS a crime to do that, and yes, people get arrested for it.
No, you cannot put but one set of wires in a meter base. The way to go about this, is to mount an outside panel beside your meter base. Panel sized to existing house service, equipped with two main breakers. One to re-feed the house panel the other to feed your shop.
You end up with a leading power factor. The Kvar meter will run backwards.

Yes, a water meter will run backwards. Running your meter backwards is stealing and could result in your service being diconnected and or a fine. Modern meters that are read via radio signals are sofisticated electronic instruments and will report leaks and reverse flows when read. So if your meter is a radio read type you had better not mess with it.
A meter box is the metal box mounted to the external wall of a home that houses the meters, circuit breakers etc.
Because the meter is connected backwards
The wattmeter will read downscale (backwards).
The wires in the plug are backwards. switch them around
tsunami can kill you and it is 30 meter high
You've got the right idea, but exactly backwards. 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter

Taxi meters increase their numbers slowly for time and distance.
The Aluminium disc in energy meter continues to slowly rotate even if no current is supplied to the current coil . This rotation of the disc is known as creep .
when reading voltage at the meter base where power comes in the house.
