The story is tied a little too neatly in a bow. I suspect the man made the boorish remark without touching her and that she wished that she had thrown the coffee, and didn’t because she would have been committing the assault. Also it might have been a $4 Grande Mocha Latte w. a shot of Gellato Expresso.

While the guy’s behavior was boorish I think that her response was kind of extreme. This reads more like she’s bragging about having thrown the coffee and trying to make an excuse for it.

I mean, she could have sued him for sexual harassment! Maybe he was drunk. That’s it — he should sue the store from which he bought the achohol, because they didn’t warn him that getting drunk highly increased the probability of sexual harassment lawsuits.
