Yep, and quality workmenship.
I had a highschool senior putting up some 8 foot lights in my warehouse. I came up to check his work and said, "ok, take them back down and do it right this time". WUT? "Make them straight!" WUT? "the lights - make them straight!" Oh. (The lights were all kinds of catty-whompus, kind of like a train derailment) You would think, that a row of light fixtures, running 6" over from a straight roof support running parrallel to what he was putting up could be used as someting to measure off of? Hopefully he learned something. Good kid though- -passed a drug test, shows up at work on time. |

Common sense comes from doing things for real, not from playing video games. Hence common sense's increasing scarcity.

I call it the round edge syndrome, virtually everything is bubble wrapped these days. The last few decades have focused so much on making things safe for the children that they actually don't learn from their mistakes.

common sense is developed from ones life experiences to date..
if you're a Pollyanna personality, your skew of common sense will be far different from Jenny from Da Block's view.. though you'd think not touching the hot pot would be viewed the same way,,not so much. Chef |

Meh, I don't think it's a curse.
It's at least "very entertaining" when the people around you, with no common sense, work with very sharp things, very heavy things, or electricity. Especially when you have the common sense to keep yourself at a safe distance. Definitely a blessing in those cases. |

Common Sense is, indeed, not so common
I see the fruit of the lack of such sense in the ER quite regularly This entertains me at times and makes me a living For instance, last week I saw a teenager in the ER who had struck a door with his fist. My first question? "Well, do you feel stupid?" |

Since the welfare state supports the stupid, those with common sense are becoming a smaller % of the population. Actions and decisions used to have consequences.

Reduction from 25 to 20 will result in a 20% reduction (25-20=5/25x100). Increase from 20 to 25 will result in a 25% increase (25-20=5/20x100). it took the new 'analyst' an hour of google & excel work to figure out percentage difference and emailed the above for confirmation.
