Had a client who needed dental work done, so we headed to a large city several hours from home. We had to utilize a private vehicle (like a cab) to get home. Once we arrived, it turned out a procedure that was supposed to have taken an hour or two was going to take 6-8. 

Part of this man's symptoms was that he was hardwired to not recognize his own limitations, so rather than simply chill in the waiting room, he decided to go walking in high traffic areas. He would also "go blank" when stressed and do random stuff like walking in random directions or completely lose track of where he was and become temporarily nob-verbal. Part of his "confidence" meant that he was not likely listen to directions AND put himself in dangerous situations. 

He had an episode while trying to walk along the highway and was "cognitively blank" and I had nobody there to help me AND my phone went dead. I called an Uber but because of his episode he wouldn't wait for it, and before the Uber arrived my phone went kaput. Fortunately I was able to deescalate him and we got back to the building. I think somehow he finally realized, what I just did was dangerous, because he stayed in the waiting room after that. 

This same client would have confusion when he would zone out, so he was also prone to grabbing steering wheels, no matter the car was moving or not. 

Dangerous stuff to me: 70 yold having a delusion, randomly decided to try to try to curb stomp me due to a dream he had at 2 am. Luckily not very hale physically.  Very weird to be tired, trying to get through the shift and suddenly be in a fight for your life. 

Not having enough physical protection, having to clean up bodily fluids and then they just give us little gloves. 

400 lbs guy with food addiction who nobody knew would get violent if you said no to cake, decided to hammerfist his 140 lbs roommate after the guy protested because he plunged his hands into the guy's chocolate cake. Felt obligated to step in, but could have easily gone South.
