This guy probably has very little respect for women. He threw hot coffee at the cashier over a $2 argument like she was some inferior being. Seeing this video made me want to beat the crap out of him. Fortunately I am an adult and know that you can’t act on your angry emotions. David Timbers, douche bag extrordinaire, never learned this lesson.
