Crazy to do something

I heard several times sentences like this one: Am I crazy not to love my job? Which makes me wonder, if I can say "Am I crazy to hate my job", because I can't seem to find any examples of "crazy to do sth"(without not), I only can find "crazy not to do sth". Thank you. Hope this question is not too silly, but you know, what they say. Silly questions are only the ones that haven't been asked.

I don't find any reason for there to be only negative examples. Maybe I'm crazy to say this, but I think it is fine to express the phrase in the affirmative. He was crazy to call after midnight.
