For example, I have a mate who's bipolar. Or at least we think he's bipolar....... All we know is you can't get that silly pulling one.

One of my first jobs in Australia was truck jockeying. There were 2 drivers I'd go with - both were old gentlemen, about 68.
One (the owner of the business) would regularly give me heart attacks from his driving, and the other was excellent, far better than most. Still, he'd sometimes forget his indicator was on, and once he forgot to engage the parking brake, causing the MR truck to roll into a parked trailer. Fortunately there wasn't much damage to either. Even more fortunately, the trailer we hit was hitched to a new Falcon ute, and parked near the opposite end of the trailer was a shiny Harley Electra-Glide. If the truck had ended up a few feet either way, it would have been very expensive.
