Good question. Very Happy

I enjoy so many posts and get annoyed at so many others.

Op, I'm with you on this!

My biggest pet peeve is when people try to use anecdotal evidence.

Example: I took the vaccine and had side effects and this proves the vaccine is dangerous.

Example: I took the vaccine and didn't have side effects and this proves the vaccine is safe.

Arrrrg. Just Arrrrg.

You’re not annoying me.
I’m like that because I bH am a very sensible person by nature and simply need to work on my middos to handle those who are not.

Another would be obviously lying and thinking others don’t catch on.

I'm with you.
Working on not getting annoyed at family members who complain or suffer and they really did it to themselves because they don't use common sense.

Maybe they don’t have any? I think those who have would automatically use, no?

A big eye opener for me was when I was younger, and realized that just because someone has a college degree or high career position, does not mean they have any common sense…

So interesting that someone can be very book smart but doesn’t have an ounce of common sense.

Is it your own... Or is it a gift from Hashem??? It helps me when I remember that it's really not my credit, and I try to shift to thanking Hashem for giving me the gifts of... (whatever it is that's annoying me that the other person doesn't have etc)

Definitely a gift.
I’m also very sensitive to good middos and work hard on myself not to get annoyed (see the disclaimer in op) or at least not show that I’m getting annoyed, but yea, so far I’m still human.
But thanks for the reminder.

True, that’s for quality. But I’m talking about quantity.

Do you mean in communicating or in practical skills. I have more seichel when it comes to doing things. For example doing things more geshikt or in away that will be faster.

Mostly relationships and communication.
I wouldn’t get annoyed by other people’s lack of practical skills unless they’d be my housekeeper.

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 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.
