My neighbor tried to back his fifth-wheel into a narrow slot under his shed. He had a couple of helpers and when I saw who they were I rightly decided to avoid that cluster in the making.
The helpers actually weren't bad; the problem was that the neighbor pretty much ignored them.
He must have made a 500-point turn. After about an hour the transmission in his truck puked. And he kept going. More red stuff on the ground, smelling like a tire fire.
I wanted to go help but he would've ignored me too.
Ended up with the fiver half in the shed and the truck on a flatbed hauled away to have the transmission replaced. All because he wouldn't pay any attention to anyone and wouldn't stop and go have a beer.
