mmm hmm

A few minutes ago I was walking upstairs to drop off a couple book orders. Two male students were walking a few steps ahead of me and were also heading for the second floor. When they reached the landing, the one on the left opened the door, and the one on the right stepped aside so that I could walk through first between them.

As I walk between them, the one on the right says, "Mmm hmm, now that's a hot librarian," as if I'm deaf and can't hear them.

I look at him with I would imagine a bit of an incredulous look on my face. He says, "No offense or anything. I'm just sayin' ..."

I just kind of waved it off and went on my way, but seriously?!? Rude, offensive, and inappropriate all spring to mind to describe my feelings about this. Someone never learned about manners and appropriate public behavior.

Sigh.
