    Every day we see complete fails of Common Sense, stupid and fantastic examples of the horror that can occur when someone just… refuses… to think. Sometimes it’s a matter of hubris, people thinking that their over-inflated sense of self-importance can overcome the laws of physics. Other times it’s just a complete failure to take a moment to really think a thing through, and thus do something monumentally stupid.

    Let’s take for example the USPS service letter that indicates if you can’t speak English, or fail to understand the letter, to take it to the local post office. How precisely would they know to do that? Or how about the woman who called the police to report that her ex was texting her, a fact she was able to ascertain because it was, and I quote, “In her handwriting.”

    I'm sure that Common Sense abounds on TLB :rolleyes:

    On the day that the incumbent leader of the "world's greatest democracy" wants to stop counting votes?! Very apt

    Common sense is a bit of an oxymoron.

    The trouble with common sense is it isn’t that common!

    Luckily I have a wife with common sense to make sure we have maintained a decent level of stock (without being excessive and bought while they were in plentiful supply) in case of more panic buying :)
     
  15. I take it that if anyone on TLB runs a bit low they will be able to pop round for a couple of rolls :D

    Common sense is sadly lacking in most walks of life, pause, engage brain open mouth.


    The mind is like a parachute,
    it only works when it is open
