(Why is it best it was me? I have an older sister with special needs, and I understand the reactions that they have when the routines get broken and things don't go their way. The kid was super upset, he realised he done fucked up. The parents took him out of that school sadly.)

Did end up breaking it later (well broken for me) because I stood in front of a special needs kid who'd had his routine disrupted and I happened to be the middleman. Broke it straight too!

I wasn't bothered by this happenstance because out of all the kids it could have happened to, best it was me.
