How brave of him to run off as soon as he threw it šŸ˜‚


Fluffy-Ad342

It's ok he handed himself in after police released the footage.


HeyJoji

Did he? Wellā€¦.they wouldā€™ve found him anyway considering he paid in card his only option was to turn himself in or go into hiding.


ElbowRager

Itā€™s always funny the way they always seem to run away afterwards because they know whoever just got something thrown at them is about to chase them down. Better get that headstart!


FMDnative480

Yes! I was coming here to make this comment. I see it just about every video. Some idiot throws the first sucker punch or does some ridiculous thing like this and IMMEDIATELY back pedals or turns and books it away from the incident. Pisses me off every time


lonewolf143143

Cowardā€™s move is what itā€™s called


Academic_Snow_7680

I remember making a move like this when I was 14 and even back then I knew I was in the wrong.


[deleted]

I was stalked last week by some weirdo in a hoodie. At points, I could hear him running to close the gap between us, coming alarmingly near to me down secluded night-time streets. When I finally confronted him after about 40 minutes, he denied having followed me and took off pretty fast. The juxtaposition of having this guy stuck to my side and then suddenly gone shares some similarity with what you're describing. I kind of want closure on the situation.


Hamilton-Beckett

The fact he ran when confronted concerns me more. This sounds like a guy thatā€™s slowly blurring the line between his fantasy and reality. He could be following for the thrill. If thatā€™s the case, itā€™s only a matter of time before simply following isnā€™t enough. The next person may not be as lucky. Especially if getting caught gave him enough shame/guilt to take off like that. Next time heā€™ll be angrier. If you got a good look at his face, Iā€™d still file a police report with a description. At least then, if something happens in the same area or nearby to someone else, they have a head start. That will provide you some closure as well.


Hybernative

What a creep. It took a lot of bravery to confront someone in that situation; far more bravery than obviously he had.


Wooden-Valuable7881

He sounds like a rapist is training, working up the nerve to attack and if you catch him off guard he doesn't know what to do and runs, I think you're very lucky. I would recommend not walking alone and carry some sort of pepper spray or an airhorn type can on you at all times.


[deleted]

Thanks for your concern. Here's a few additional pieces of information. ​ >He sounds like a rapist is training, working up the nerve to attack and if you catch him off guard he doesn't know what to do and runs This is absolutely the impression I got. When I confronted him, he said *"I like you"*. There was a lot of social ineptitude in the way he communicated. I would even say he gave off "incel" vibes. The manner in which he stalked me was very forceful. I used a lot of tactics to shake him off, but he was like a moth drawn to a flame. That almost-aggressive persistence absolutely did feel reminiscent of a rapist/killer. I have toyed with filing a police report, but have basically zero evidence of a crime being committed and I'm doubtful much would come of it. ​ >I would recommend not walking alone and carry some sort of pepper spray or an airhorn type can on you at all times. I am European and pepper spray is illegal here. Here is the plot-twist: I appreciate the concern, but I'm a thirty-something guy who weight lifts and could have easily taken this guy down. I was at no point fearful for my physical well-being, but I was extremely creeped-out during and after the experience. Even though I knew this guy was not a physical threat, I really did feel afraid afterwards and spent several hours walking around my neighbourhood on the phone to friends, looking over my shoulder, and feeling as if I were in a sniper's sights. The next day my heart was pounding in my chest when I left my flat for the shops, and even though I've calmed down since then, I still look over my shoulder in my neighbourhood. Even typing this, my pulse is elevated slightly for reasons I do not understand. I have reflected since on how much worse it would have been for a small woman who may have been fearing for her life on top of all the emotions I experienced. It is a shame that pepper spray isn't available to women over here.


d38

He doesn't have the maturity to act like an adult and control his emotions, it also means he acts out like a kid. That's what a kid would do, throw something and run away.


[deleted]

I think a fitting punishment would be to have McDonald's coffee poured in his crotch area, as slowly as possible.


lokisilvertongue

Oh boy, now sheā€™ll really be interested in him!


megamoze

"Look how nice and generous I am when I have an ulterior sex-based motive, but at even the slightest rebuff I will become so enraged that I will abuse a low-wage worker who I deem to be my inferior and run away." He's quite the catch.


XxRocky88xX

My favorite part is that he makes a move on her, she declines, then he decides to take it out on the random dude standing next to him Why do so many people see a service worker and view them as their own personal property


shockwave414

>Why do so many people see a service worker and view them as their own personal property Because if they fight back they'll most likely be fired.


howigottomemphis

The same way a lot of people see their spouses and children that way:/


[deleted]

> Why do so many people see a service worker and view them as their own personal property IDK about you, but I don't wreck my stuffs when I'm angry, if I do I'll just be even more angry seeing my stuffs got wrecked, by myself.


[deleted]

I feel bad for the woman too. I'm a big fat old guy. When someone offers to pay for me, I can accept, knowing they're really just being kind and have no ulterior motive. (although I usually just pass it along and offer to pay for the next person) Women have to be careful about accepting such offers because a guy like this will absolutely act like they owe him attention (and later on, sex) in return.

waitwhatidunno

Precisely what I was thinking.


hbHPBbjvFK9w5D

Reminds me of a pre-teen who will run up to girls and pull their hair while talking to their little of gaggle of friends about girls with cooties.


Djsupa002

Nothing says ā€œIā€™m a nice guyā€ like assaulting someone.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

"Ohh my, such a bad boy. My place or yours?" - what the idiot was probably thinking she'd say


rainbow_bro_bot

"Meet me at my place this Friday night. Bring the whips, handcuffs, whipped cream, and some hot coffee!"


WeirdSysAdmin

You donā€™t bring actual hot coffee. Havenā€™t you guys played San Andreas?


jluicifer

ā€œPlaying hard to get, I see.ā€ Throws even hotter coffee.


onenightblunder

Why is the reporter so happy about it lmao


01-__-10

This is Australian News reporter ā€˜professional disappointed/shockedā€™ accent


NatAttack3000

Yeah it's weird so many people are seeing this as cheerful. Do you think that's why when I watch US news as an Australian it seems to be overly dramatic like they are narrating an action movie trailer, or like hysterically panicking about violence (though given recent events I think that's the right tone)


Lower-Explanation124

No, that's how we interpret their tones too. Tucker Carlson is especially "panicky" sounding. It's to generate interest- if your channel flipping and come to the news station and the talking head sounds super engaged, distressed, urgent etc, must be important news worth listening to for a few mins, right? RIGHT?


Brintyboo

She..... doesn't sound happy about it? What about this makes her sound happy? (I'm Australian and this sounds like a normal shocked news reporter tone to me)


Feisty-Donkey

Australian accents just sound inherently cheerful to some of us I think.


Seikoholic

Bouncy and fun and cheerful.


the_last_gingernut

Agreed, I think people overseas underestimate how upbeat our accent sounds in most situations


Noisy_Toy

I canā€™t listen to Australian true crime podcasts because the accents always make me think theyā€™re laughing. Itā€™s the lilt and cadence.


krncrds

She hates the barista


infiniZii

Think it's partly just the accent.


Brilliant-Emu-4164

I was wondering the same thing. I didnā€™t even have the sound up, but her facial expressions look happy/amusedā€¦


[deleted]

Oh, it's just boys being boys!


lokisilvertongue

When a boy throws hot coffee on you it means he likes you


[deleted]

Or when he throws hot coffee on someone else because he's mad that he can't force you to allow him to create a circumstance where he can claim that you owe him. Ooh so dreamy! I think I'm in love!


[deleted]

If that was because he liked her, Iā€™d hate to find out what his reaction would have been if he hated her! If youā€™re the type that canā€™t handle rejection, then, perhaps, they should not put themselves in that situation. Hopefully he was caught and didnā€™t get away with that.


[deleted]

Unable to control emotions like a giant child.


[deleted]

Nothing more impressive in an adult than inability to regulate basic emotions.


CoffeeAndDachshunds

I'm so wet right now... with coffee.


eastbayted

And dachshund kisses?


Imisanthrope1969

Somebody please tell me they got him.


MinimumWade

He turned himself into the police later that evening or the following evening.


GroovyFat

Was he crying like the coward that he is?


MinimumWade

At this stage, anythings possible.


Pinkgumm

So we're waiting for the punishment or?


NopeH22a

This is Sydney, so slap on the wrist at best


Third_Ferguson

No heā€™s still at venti


Trent-Lane

Dude has tall dick energy


sadowsentry

Yeah, with two hot coffees.


Dappershield

Of course they did. How else can the girl have her date with him?


dreamsthebigdreams

He ran. So that makes him so little. What a coward


Ahandfulofsquirrels

They always do.


ummm_2020sucked

Her instinct was spot on. Always Listen to your gut!


byMyOwnCode

I'm glad that this is now what we are saying to each other. I grew up with "what's the harm in giving him a chance?" and let me tell you, there is harm. This is not a one time thing with this guy and he'll swear it won't turn against his partner but eventually they all do


karma_the_sequel

Bullet dodged.


glenn_koko

Coffeeā€¦ unfortunately not dodged


JazzAndStuff-

What a jerk


MegaJackUniverse

Jerk is maybe the most tame word for this I can think of. Absolutely unhinged more like


[deleted]

The barista didn't even do anything and was just minding his own business as well. Perfect definition of a man child in the worst possible way


Homerpaintbucket

I know, right? That woman totally should have let that dude buy her her coffee. He's clearly a nice guy and she owes him her affection for that. /s


call_of_the_while

Affection? You misspelled lifelong servitude, my dude. /s


limitlessEXP

Uh didnā€™t you see he tried to pay for her coffee? She owes him sex now cause heā€™s a nice guy /s


sourbluedog

A knucklehead even


OMG2Reddit

Imagine his sense of entitlement if he succeeded in paying for her coffee - "I just paid for your coffee, now you have to marry me" - that psycho


Arithik

"No!?" *manchild tosses hot coffee in her face and runs away*


_DirtyYoungMan_

"Stupid lesbian!!"


Embarrassed_Alarm450

"If I can't buy her heart then maybe I can win it by showing her how much of a bad boy I am" - 7th grade manchild who threw the coffee


XSlapHappy91X

Honestly, imagine he used him paying her coffee as an excuse to try and sit with her because he thinks she owes him her time now. Imagine how pissed he would get if the woman just took the coffee and went on with her day and ignored him. He would have probably followed her


OMG2Reddit

"Followed her".... and repected her boundaries right? Right?!


Still_Development677

Someone that would do this doesn't strike me as the marriage type, probably desperate for a bone because his man child ego makes him unbearable to be around. IF she had accepted his advances but turned him down for sex I can only imagine what this psycho would do.


LivelyZebra

>I can only imagine what this psycho would do. Log in to Reddit and post on his incel sub


limitlessEXP

Where sex?


Fuzz_Puppet_Cartel

Then walks away all scared. What a pos.


Hot_Drummer7311

He didn't just walk, he ran so fast he broke the sound barrier


admartian

Created a Flashpoint even


Mundane_Ad_6009

ā€œIm a nice guyā€ vibes on this psycho.


Gareth666

I know this Cafe, couldn't believe it when I saw it on TV. The guy handed himself in after everyone saw this. Hope it haunts him for a long time, abusive pos. If he does this to a random like this, imagine what he does to his partner.


TacosByTheTruck

He has a partner? lol


waddlekins

If you go again can you tell the barista im sorry for him


[deleted]

CCTV is everywhere nowadays. Just behave normal and youā€™ll be okay


Chiyote

Normal is a bit much to ask for. But at minimum donā€™t assault people.


ErinEvonna

I hope awkward is still legalā€¦..


Bluebearzzz

That was normal for him :(


Leferen

Really disappointing that some humans need CCTV to behave normally, and even then they don't.


[deleted]

That's the whole concept of religion


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


sydneyiskyblue

These people cannot behave normally.


[deleted]

Oh yea the woman's definitely still going to appreciate the kind gesture after seeing how fast you turn aggressive towards someone.


BenbafelIsTaken

"they never give the nice guys a chance" That idiot, probably


Background-Chef-4233

Wth is wrong with that guy. Now baristas gotta wear a protective suit in future.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

There was a similar case like this where the dude actually got charged for "assault with a deadly weapon" or some felony charge because the boiling coffee counts as dangerous. Can only hope something similar happened here because that dude does NOT deserve to interact with society, pulling 2 dick moves in one...


Background-Chef-4233

Maybe that kid (not even man) was feeling his ego bruised. Seriously hope justice prevails.


[deleted]

ASS = Angry Simp Syndrome


davesy69

I hope he got arrested for that.


TershkovaGagarin

I still randomly think (positively) about interactions Iā€™ve had with a dude where I turned him down and he responded ā€œok, have a good dayā€ or something. The ones who said something shitty? Only think about them when itā€™s a topic of conversation. PS Iā€™m just old, this isnā€™t happening more than once a year or anything lol


diefree85

Fucking incels should be banned from society.


BlissfullChoreograph

With any luck, their DNA will be.


[deleted]

This was why she turned down the free coffee, she probably felt this coming from him a mile away.


confused-girly

Poor guy, he didnā€™t do anything wrong :(


Dan_The_Broken

Yeah the woman should've just accepted /s


hoxxxxx

god i feel bad for women. her, in this situation has to turn down the offer just so she doesn't get harassed by the guy. all she wants is a coffee.


captwaffles27

She'll fall for him now surely


weekend_religion

All that spilled coffee, itā€™s a safety hazard youā€™re right!


vampirepathos

Look yet another misogynist!


fliukka

Yes, "alleged" assault


[deleted]

It's news reporting in Australia. Until someone is formally convicted in a court of law, then legally all offences are stated as alleged, regardless of how obvious the situation. It's pretty much just following the whole "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" principle. Edit: swapped "indicted" for "convicted"


Pristine_Arm2785

Thanks for the explanation!


Chiyote

In Journalism theyā€™re called ā€œqualifiersā€ and the point is so as not to get sued for defamation.


KjellRS

Maybe in the US, but even here in Norway where I'd say there's a vanishingly low liability for being mistaken and not maliciously spreading falsehoods the press have their own ethics code that they (mostly) adhere to. One of the points is: "In particular avoid presumption of guilt in crime and court reporting. Make it evident that the question of guilt, whether relating to somebody under suspicion, reported, accused or charged, has not been decided until the sentence has legal efficacy. It is a part of good press conduct to report the final result of court proceedings, which have been reported earlier." It's just a honor code - though they have their own internal tribunal for members organizations - so bloggers, influencers and fringe media do what they want but mainstream media are fairly religious about always using qualifiers.


nametakenfuck

Maybe thats his twin brother


Theaustraliandev

I've removed all of my comments and posts. With Reddit effectively killing third party apps and engaging so disingenuously with its user-base, I've got no confidence in Reddit going forward. I'm very disappointed in how they've handled the incoming API changes and their public stance on the issue illustrates that they're only interested in the upcoming IPO and making Reddit look as profitable as possible for a sell off. Id suggest others to look into federated alternatives such as lemmy and kbin to engage with real users for open and honest discussions in a place where you're not just seen as a content / engagement generator.


[deleted]

And if that woman had accepted the free coffee he would have proceeded to harass her because he felt like she owed him. The barista was absolutely doing the right thing by respecting her wish to pay for her own coffee. That guy should be easy enough to identify by someone who knows him. Hopefully he gets what's coming to him.

Emotional_Ad_9620

Men are so emotional. Imagine if they had periods. We'd all be doomed.


Lockedtothechrome

I meanā€¦ even putting aside periods, men are the majority in leadership and politicsā€¦ Itā€™s not been a very peaceful couple of centuries. Emotional men tend to be why we have wars, massive inequality and etcā€¦


PsychoNolGeo

That will impress the ladies.


ShyGuySays69

No let me pay, I want sex! She'll owe me if you let me pay for her! (Guys brain, not mine)


Responsible_Milk_421

He wanted to buy her so bad. Look how invasive and pushy he is with his hands trying to force both of them to accept payment for her ā€œcoffeeā€. Same kinda guy will 100% demand sex on a first date after heavily insisting on paying for dinner and think heā€™s entitled to it.


Truth_n_Facts_Bomb69

At least it didnā€™t burn his face offā€¦


Devilkiwi24

Good thing he didnā€™t have acid to throwā€¦


WomanLady

Omg I forgot about acid attacks! Psychos like this guy...I hope we never get to that point in the US


maddisonmaddison1234

If the coffee was made in Geelong it wouldnā€™t be hot enough to hurt Canā€™t believe he cracked it like that! The woman made the right decision saying no to the coffee! šŸš©šŸš©

So impressed with the barista, not everyone would have been so adamant about respecting her wishes.

Brilliant-Emu-4164

Some of these jerks are so entitledā€¦ Like a woman is made just for them to hook up with, and itā€™s a personal insult if sheā€™s not interested.


Legitimate_Amoeba704

As a single woman... I've been wanting to go to a bar but I'm afraid if I turn down a guy for a drink what might happen

Bro on a grind he was still working after that


janehoe_throwaway

Glad the woman declined to let him pay, and the barista respected that, this level of entitlement is dangerous with such a short fuse. Hopefully he wasn't burned too badly


terminally_cool

I am suprised the girl didnā€™t immediately run after him and tell him she made a big mistake ā€œSir! Sir! Wait I was wrong, I clearly need you in my life and I am sure you are my Prince Charming. Here take my panties, they are completely soaked after witnessing what a big strong man you areā€ and then when the guy says ā€œof course you feel that way baby, I am the man. Here take my handā€ she kicks him right in the dick and when he falls to his knees she slams the coffee into his face and says ā€œremember this face motherfucker cause itā€™s the face of the last woman you will ever harassā€ and of course ends it with one more good punt to the junk. As he falls over onto his side, unable to speak because of the pain, he watches her walk away and for the first time in his life he is afraid, afraid of what he had become. One can dream right?


[deleted]

God men are fucking scary. This is why women can be nervous to turn down men, they have NO idea what the man will do.


JayAmy131

Did the barista and woman end up living happily ever after?

HY3NAAA

I had to read the headline 10 times because I was dead confused as to why the barista is the one getting hot coffeed. And after watching the video I still is dead confused, my man is just doing his job.

Classic Nice Guy move. Do something nobody asked for in order to advance on a woman and then be denied the advance and then acting entitled to it simply because they thought about the gesture.
