>Someone fired from all their jobs is probably going to be a menace later in some form or fashion.
>Someone who ended all their relationships on bad terms is going to end on bad terms with you.
This was an important lesson for me recently. I had a friend I was spending quite a lot of time with, and was discussing starting businesses with. One day it dawned on me that there was not one job, friendship or relationship this person had not ended, usually badly. Then I realised that I was just about their only current friend, which made me realise this person eventually fell out with all their friends. Seeing the writing on the wall I staged a gradual withdrawal, and remain friendly but not friends.
