Okay, so... yeah, this totally happened.
Yup.
There is this older guy who comes in fairly regularly. I never really paid much more attention to him than the usual professionally friendly.
I was behind the counter with my back turned to it doing... something important (I honestly can't remember what the heck I was doing-- oh wait, now I remember--
I was behind the counter recording lottery. I had noticed him walk in but what I was doing was one of the tasks we consider to be "Non-interrupt-able." So I continue writing down lottery numbers.
Then the old man... PURRS at me. Legit.Foo-ing.PURRS. At. Me.
When I ignored it (because who the hell would give that recognition?) He proceeded to do it LOUDER at me. At that point my coworker slipped between me and him and dealt with him. I was pissed and totally skeeved out.
I was even more skeeved out than normal because I realized I had run into that guy at a local fast food place (not run into as in talkie but run into as in he was standing behind me in line) and he purred at me THEN too! I hadn't noticed it because I hadn't realized what the sound had been at the time.
UGH! How does anyone think that's okay to do?
Additional Peeve:
I get it. I get that you don't like having change. I understand that you want to get rid of as much change as possible. But if you have a line behind you I'm going to get pissed as you count out 5 pennies when you have a nickle right there, or root around for two dimes and a nickle when you have a quarter sitting in your palm.
Totally willing to wait when the store is dead and you're the only one there.
Totally not willing to wait when there are four people behind you.
Yup.

And why do they think that will be taken as something ok to do? Can they not tell it's creepy as hell?
Good one! Glad your coworker was there to step in for you, too.
