haha yeah I used to work with Camp Bonaventure, which is a day camp for kids with disabilities. (Yeah that's right, I went from being an admired counselor working with disabled children to the scum-of-the-earth door to door salesman).
Anyways whenever we went places people would avoid our group of kids like they were the plague and it ALWAYS ticked me off.
I remember one time we were at the zoo, and this one particular camper who was my favourite needed to stimulate himself by making some noise or by slapping things to make noise to keep himself content. The kid was like 10 years old, tapping the glass of a display with insects inside. The insects weren't even moving, clearly didn't care and some moron walks up grabs his hand and throws it away and starts shouting to leave the exhibit alone. This particular kid couldn't speak anyway, but didn't even react. Pretty much just ignored him and continued to tap the glass and for some reason I thought it was hilarious because it made the guy look like the biggest ######. The guy started chirping at me to take better care of him or some crap but literally- as long as I knew where this kid was- I was doing a good job. I just said something like 'dont worry about it' and moved along. Pretty sure if the kid was doing something to distract or disturb the animals I would have stopped it... but come on now... insects?
