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.

What are you doing on the internet, then, OP?
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.
LOL

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

Do you ever do or say something that lacks common sense?

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

lol I do bc I work with other people and it drives me nuts. I am constantly telling my workmate how to do things bc I am way more practical. 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.

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.
