We forget that the anti-freeze is also a pump lubricant so just topping up is nearly as bad as not topping up at all and as for the other one, ignoring a leaking rad only can be done for a short time, but it picking the time I'm late, pushing on and then for it to totally fail, dump the complete coolant spelt disaster again. Although these issue's are to be expected in 25 year old vehicles, these really caught me off guard tbh
