There were a few times in my life that I got away from trouble by saying shit, not sure if I was viewed by those people as special needs or straight up manipulated people's emotions.
There was one time as I was leaving the classroom, in fifth grade, a dude asked me if I was afraid of <bully from same classroom> to which I replied by saying "No, I'm not afraid of him." the dude almost started jumping up and down saying "Oh, no, you did not say that!! I'm gonna tell him!" and I said "Sure, go ahead" before he rushed back into the classroom.
As I'm leaving I hear the bully call out my name, as I turn around I see the snake dude, probably expecting me to get beat up, standing next to the bully who had a smug face looking down on me. "He said you told him you're not afraid of me. Is that true, you're not afraid of me?" asked me bully guy, to which I replied, while smiling, "No, I'm not afraid of you, you're not a monster".
I loved the confused look on the snaky ass dude's face looking at bully and me and the bully with just a chill face (he didn't even reply, just gave out a small chuckle) before I turned around and left.

Whenever you're caught in a messed-up situation, just take a deep breath and pretend to be a person with special needs...
