And they would switch between the two haphazardly, possibly even both at once.Chaotic Neutral also tend to find unintended solutions to problems made only to consider the extremity answer. Because when you're not bound by laws or morals, more possibilities on how to get the job done arise.
Consider the classic Runaway Trolley: There is a Runaway Trolley, no driver is inside to stop it. You are near the track switch for two tracks, on one track is 1 person, on the other 5 people. So the question is, where do you make the trolley go? Those who are Evil select the track with 5 people (more casualties), those who are Good have a BSOD as the thought of killing someone else to save others causes a moral cascade, and those who are Lawful or otherwise Neutral select the track with 1 person (less casualties).
The correct answer is, of course, off the rails.
Don't forget neutral neutral who either just lets natural selection take it's course. Or does something completely off the wall for the best possible outcome. Like blow up the tracks where there isn't anyone to send it off the rails. Because they'd rather not be bothered with really thinking about anything so droll and boring. good/evil are egotists after all and always want to see the outcome of what they've done for good or bad. Neutral neutral couldn't give a rats arse when you can just keep going to get the job done faster and with less trouble.
