Don't tirar los perros at my sister, show some respect.

A scatterbrained or impulsive person who acts without thinking and consistently makes a mess of things through pure recklessness. In Colombia and Venezuela, the atolondrado is always rushing but somehow always the last to arrive, with everything upside down and no idea what went wrong.
