It's Not a Comliment, It's Disrepect.

 There's this guy named Rick that comes into my work. I never really liked him, mainly over one incident, he asked for one pack of cigarettes, I accidentally gave him two packs, and I didn't realize it until he was already at of the store. He knew he only paid for one pack, he should have been honest and gave back the other pack. Dishonest people drive me crazy.  The past two weeks or so he's been acting like he likes me. He asked for my name, and then gave me his. Now every time he comes in he makes a point to say my name, and maybe I'm the only one who notices this but whenever a guy likes me, he always makes a point to say my name, or maybe I'm crazy and they really don't, it just feels like it.
 He brought his usual L&M menthol 100's and a pack of Marlboro red 72s, I assumed those were just for his girlfriend, and some gas. He handed me the money and I started to get him ten dollars back in change, as I handed it to him I saw his hand was slightly over his mouth like he had some secret to tell me then he said "Has anyone ever told you that you have a nice butt?" he asked casually like his question wasn't a big deal at all. I was shocked he had actually said that, it shouldn't have surprised me though since he once accidentally flashed his phone at me and guess what I saw? Yep, that's right, porn... If he's looking at some random women's butt online, chances are he's looking at mine also. After what felt like a five minutes (in reality, it was five seconds) of awkward silence I finally said "Um yeah, my fiance has a couple of times." After I said that the guy behind Rick instantly started laughing. I really should thank God for giving me the ability for having awesome comebacks.
 It didn't take long for Rick to leave after that, he kept repeating out loud "That's it Hannah, that's it." I may have completely misunderstood what he meant by "that's it", but I'm next to positive he was just saying that was all he wanted to do was give me that "compliment", nothing more, nothing less. He's darn right that's it.
 This isn't my only story about a guy saying something about my butt. I'll share the other two while I'm at it.
 A year ago or so, this guy came in and asked wanted to get lottery, so as I was getting what he wanted he just kept snickering. Finally he decided I should know what was funny.
  "My buddies and I have a nickname for you." He couldn't keep a straight face. "Wanna know what it is?" From knowing who he is, and the way he was snickering I didn't really want to know.
 "What's that?" I asked.
 "We call you hot pants." He snickered some more like it was just the funniest thing ever. It wasn't funny, it was disrespectful.
 I saw that same guy come in a few weeks ago, he asked where the cheese was so I walked him over towards the cheese, as I was headed back to the register he followed me.
 "Man, you sure do know how to move that booty." He snickered. I didn't look back to acknowledge I heard what he said, I just kept walking. "Did you hear what I said?" He snickered some more. This time I looked back at him for a quick second. He repeated himself. "You sure do know how to move that booty. It sure looks nice too." He snickered again. I once again, didn't look back back, and just kept walking pretending like I really didn't hear what he said again.
 Ash and I were talking about this and she said these guys were just trying to give me a compliment. News flash- Making a comment about my butt, or anything else sexual related is not a compliment! If you want to compliment me on my eyes, hair, smile, or my attitude, that's sweet, but if you compliment anything sexual related, that's disrespect.
