Common sense is not so common and there is nothing you can do about it!

I’ll try to give examples:
* someone who doesn’t read the (emotional) temperature in the room. Especially when it’s obvious.
*someone who doesn’t get a hint, a joke, or cracks awful jokes.
*as I said before, someone who lies but it’s so obvious.
*I think lots of social skills, manners and etiquette is also connected to common sense.

It's such a brutal common sense vacuum.
I grew up before the internet era.
Going on it has taught me for neaely 30 years straight how amazingly brainless humans can be.

I’m here for the posters that I very much enjoy! Seriously! Also to share my overload of common wisdom!

I definitely make mistakes and easily admit and apologize if I do.

Ex I ask her to snip tiny pieces if paper. she snips a strip and then cuts squares versus I showed her take all the strips together and cut them together.
this is simple and obvious for most people but I constantly find that when I tell people how I do things they are like, wow such an amazing idea. |
So yeah if it ends up affecting me I’d definitely get annoyed. But if those paper snips have nothing to do with me I wouldn’t get annoyed if she’s just being less practical.

obviously not bc that is common sense  lol.
I get annoyed when people lack social skills. like why do you have to ask that question? and when the person gives a vague answer dont repeat yourself just ger a hint.

You could learn social smarts though and sharpen your skills that way. You just have to be open to learning.
