“I Asked Him Whether He Was Tired Of Living”: 61 People Who Surprised Others With Their Lack Of Common Sense
Interview With Expert
Common sense is free of charge. You don’t need to spend a single cent on making practical judgments, nor do you need to acquire them using special knowledge.
Yet, some people would still choose to go through life using zero basic logic, seemingly uncaring whether they put themselves or others in a compromising position. These photos are examples of that, most of which may leave you shaking your head in disappointment while letting out a chuckle or two.
Scroll through and enjoy some laughs of your own.

This Person Left Their Merc In The Wrong Place
For context, here when the tide is low there is a small road and a place to park, but when the tide gets high the road fully disappears. This happens at least 10 times a year; you would think that people would be cautious, bearing in mind that there are literally 30 signs, like the one in the image, stating that the whole thing floods. Some people just lack common sense, I guess.

too many people don't bother to believe the signs thinking 'it doesn't apply to me' - hence the signs they've had to add saying 'turn around, don't drown'...
Some experts may disagree with the notion of “common sense.” One typical argument is that it isn’t universal, where one’s environment growing up differs from another, and therefore, shapes varying forms of logic.
“Why do so many people misspell 'lose' as 'loose’? Why do so many people say 'literally' when they mean 'figuratively'? 'Common' isn't a good enough criterion to make something true,” author and researcher Dr. Christopher Dwyer wrote in an article for Psychology Today.

I grew up very close to Lake Geneva and spent a lot of time there during spring through early fall. It was a long time ago and the lake froze enough to drive anywhere on it, there were ice houses, and little ice sailing rigs (I have no idea what those are called). My father was a grade A ąsshōle and thought it was hilarious that I was afraid of the ice breaking. It’s a shame that the lake doesn’t freeze like it did for decades or centuries. - - Also, for all you people who live nearby Lake Geneva- take advantage of it. It’s a beautiful lake and has underwater springs that keep it clean. I haven’t been there in ages but every summer I get a craving to go swimming there.

Given that definition, evolutionary psychologist Bruce Charlston concluded in a study that people with higher IQ tend to struggle more with common sense because they “over-use general intelligence in problem-solving” and subsequently “override instinctive and spontaneous forms of evolved behavior” often associated with basic logic.

My Physics Teacher Gave A Whole Lecture On Colors And Said We Could Make White Paint By Mixing All Colors, The More You Mix, The Closer To White It Gets
Red Wyvern Emperor 2 weeks ago
Back in school, we were painting as part of class. And one classmate asked me what colors to mix to get blue, since she ran out. I told her that blue was one of the basic colors and that it couldn't be mixed. And another classmate then objected that I'm wrong, that if she mixed yellow and green, she'll get blue. Her logic: If blue and yellow make green, then mixing green and yellow will give blue. To this day I'm dumbfounded. XD
Phantom Phoenix 2 weeks ago
She was close. Just forgot that when you move something to the other side of an equation you need to switch - & + signs. B+Y=G therefore B=G-Y So if you run out of blue, the answer is to get some green, extract all of its yellowness, and you'll be left with blue! Simples!

The physics thing the poster misunderstood - if you combine the colours of visible light you get white.

Spin it fast enough, and it looks white (or close to white, depending on the precise colours of your paint).

Load More Replies... For Los Angeles-based psychologist Dr. Rita Eichenstein, the digital environment shapes a young person’s approach to the world. As she explained, growing up in a highly structured, screen-based world where answers are instant gives people fewer chances for trial-and-error learning that builds judgment.
“Society has shifted from hands-on interaction to digital immersion, and practical reasoning hasn’t had equal room to develop. Kids are over-educated in some ways but are seriously under-educated in life,” Dr. Eichenstein said.

Bright Headlights Almost Caused Me To Get In An Accident
This person's headlights, with the power of a thousand suns, caused a ring to form around my car, so I could not see anything. The road curves a little bit, but because I was driving blind, I almost hit the car to my right. But I’m so glad this person feels so safe being able to see so far ahead and clearly at the expense of my safety. How is this legal?

Everyone drives with these super bright LED light now. I always thought people were driving with their brights on and would flash my brights at them until I realized they were LED lights.

Deer antlers, hopefully the ones which fall naturally, make great chewing items for dogs. They are sold in chunks, don't contain additives and last a lot of time
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 weeks ago
Actually, I've heard many vets suggest never to give antlers (from any species) to your dogs. Antlers can easily shatter dogs' teeth, resulting in the need for surgery. Antlers can also splinter, and they DO NOT break down in the digestive tract the way raw bone does, so they can result in blockages or even perforations. I have a Belgian Malinois and he loves antlers, but I don't risk giving them to him any more. A canine's teeth are meant for shearing raw bone, which is actually fairly soft and "spongy" compared to something as hard as antler.

Here in Italy we have lots of immigrants that land here after desperate travels by sea on small boats (there's a lot of human trafficking and organized international crime involved). North African coast is quite close to Sicily but very often they drown all the same, hundreds if not thousands of lives are lost every year. Those who make it are collected in temporary places to stay; if they have refugee status they can stay, otherwise they are sent back to their Country. This means giving them a bed, food, health care and a few euros to charge their phones. Of course all this costs money to the government, about 100 euros per person per day. Many italians are still convinced that immigrants receive that money personally...

TBH, having grown up in a world where you went into a cafe and asked for ‘a coffee’ I sympathise. Do I press the espresso button and top up with hot water? Does an Americano taste the same as a basic black coffee? We have a button called ‘milk drinks’ (I have no idea why) that dispenses shots of coffee for various uses, do you use that?

Got seats in the nosebleed section, and this guy is the only one in my entire section standing up. The glow around him is the stage. I was tempted so many times to tell him to sit down, but I'm not sure what the "rule" is on this. I guess he's "allowed" to stand up, but I feel like this is just common sense. It's different if everyone is standing, but he is the only one standing.
Halfway through the show he turns around and says, "You guys don't mind if I'm standing, do you?" I reply with, "I can't see, but you do you." He kind of froze for a few seconds and said, "OK, boss," and sat down. He stayed seated until they played Change, and that's when everyone, including the nosebleed sections, stood up, and of course I'm fine with that.

Instead of “telling” someone what to do, try explaining your problem. Then it’s a ‘you and me together’ situation.

We need this car moved! It was blocking the lower level access to the centre, it's the one the pickup trucks us so it is normally closed (but signposted FIRE ACCESS DO NOT BLOCK), but it would allow the firemen to get closer to the part actually now on fire. Nobody stepped forward so we all watched in amusement as he said the obligatory "Putain!" and then simply drove into it, pushed it about twenty metres to the back of the recycling centre and out of the way, then backed up a bit and went around to deal with the fire. I'd bet THAT was an interesting discussion with the insurers when the owner returned.

This Person Is Driving In The Rain While Holding An Umbrella
Robert T 2 weeks ago
Perfectly normal behaviour. I drive a car of a similar vintage. Putting the roof up involves getting out, erecting the "tent poles", clipping the back of the roof into the two silver things you see just behind the cockpit, clipping the front to the windscreen frame, getting the sidescreens out and clipping them to the doors, then getting back in, soaking wet, as it takes so long. Umbrella is only needed whilst stationary. Once moving, airflow over the windscreen keeps most of the rain off.

No. 6 drove a Lotus 7, kit built, in British Racing Green with a yellow nose and red upholstery, plate KAR-120C. It also had a slight tendency to overheat. Apropos of nothing, I was fortunate enough to visit 'The Village' in June 1980. I had the presence of mind go in dressed as No. 2, and so managed to depart. Got to explore the Stone Boat, see the Green Dome, eat at the cafe, and visit a few of the underground passages.

Even with newer cars it happens a lot. I used to work in used cars at dealerships and would occasionally transport vehicles to others for warranty work or local auction. Usually we got convertibles less than 10 years old with issues. I got to go pick up an Audi convertible about 15/20 miles away all highway. i wanted to drop the top but did not want to risk that. Because I did 90 mph 144/kmph some of the way where there wasn't traffic and the road was smooth. The Manager asked why I didn't 😂 I'm actually a pretty careful driver, usually 😊

In fairness to these guys, it's says BJs on the pump. It's a store you pay a membership fee to shop at and can get cheaper gas at the store as well. We just got a membership a few months ago and the gas pump area at our store is one way and has signs all over the place saying to pull up because the pump lines are extra long so they will reach either side! So being a busy place when we went we waited in line and the next open pump was the wrong side for our car but we believed the signs. My god did we feel so f*****g stupid when the pump lines was not in fact long enough to actually reach the other side of our SUV. So I am sure these dudes feel just as dumb as we all think they are because they also believed the b******t signs.

Underage Guys Show Up Drunk To Bail Out Underage Drunk Friend
Crescent 3 2 weeks ago
I was in college in the 1980s. At our university, you could bring alcohol in as long as you were of age. The legal age to drink beer at the time was 19 (Ohio, USA). One night, I was working in our dorm office, and four guys came in together and one was carrying a case of beer (24 bottles). We checked the IDs of all they guys because it was after hours and all IDs were checked. Three of the four guys were 19, but the one actually carrying the beer was 18. Since he was underage, dorm policy was that they had to pour out the beer. The kicker was that they had each taken a turn carrying the beer from the store. It just so happened that it was the youngest one who actually brought it into the building. If any of the other guys had brought it in there would have been no issue and they could have gone up to their dorm room and had a great party. Whomp, whomp.

Good trick in this situation, use string, wrap it around your finger below the ring (where the excess skin tissue is swelling/blocking the ring), and you wrap it around until you reach the ring, then using tweezers or something you slip the end of the string under/through the ring, and then you can slip the ring off (you may have to pull on the string end to force the ring foward). Basically you are using the string as a finger "corset". You can Google this for a better idea of what I'm talking about.

Barefoot Airline Seat Mate Even Went To Bathroom Twice With No Shoes
Knowing that someone who has the lack of brainpower to even act this way won’t likely be open to polite conversation, I don’t take it upon myself to ask them not to. So I had asked my flight attendant for help, and he said that there was nothing they could do—so clearly they don’t even know that stipulations exist within the contract for the carrier, and it would’ve likely empowered them as well because they expressed frustration at how often they see this kind of thing and more. I travel enough to get frustrated by this kind of thing. I can’t imagine how they feel on an almost daily basis. They did tell me things have gotten much worse with how people behave.
Not only did my seatmate keep his disgusting feet on the bulkhead wall almost our entire trip from Chicago to Sacramento, but he also got up twice to use the bathroom while barefoot.

LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 weeks ago
Hands may carry more bacteria on average, but feet are equally unhygienic. Consider: one's feet are generally swaddled in socks/nylons and shoes for 8+ hours a day. This causes feet to sweat. This can cause the feet to have fungal infections such as athlete's foot, or plantar warts (caused by the HPV virus) which can both EASILY be passed to other people if the infected person tromps around barefoot - it doesn't even have to be a surface that someone's hands will touch. If they walk barefoot on a surface and contaminate it with bacteria, fungus, or viruses, and then someone rolls their suitcase across that surface, the person may later pick up their suitcase to load it into the trunk of a car, and their hands will come in contact with the bacteria/fungus/viruses/etc. Going barefoot in an inappropriate place (such as a plane) and pressing your feet against the plane's WALL are unhygienic and disgusting behaviors.

I always marvel at these large parking spots like on the U.S. Here, you’re lucky if you can find a spot in the itty bitty space that fits about ten cars.

It is because so many of us like to drive gigantic vehicles for absolutely no viable reason XD (I'm one to talk, I drive a huge brick of a van, an '01 Volkswagen Eurovan, but at least I inherited it and didn't choose a huge van, lol. And it is actually of value to me as a vehicle since I have two large-breed dogs!)

Instructions Didn't Say To Use Pan
Lukas (he/him, it/its) 2 weeks ago
Many pizzas say to put directly on the rack. I don't, for fear of this exact scenario, but the instructions on many pizzas do indeed tell you you can do this.

TBF if you've only ever heated up frozen pizzas then this might be understandable.

I've made pizza on the grate with homemade dough and not had this problem. It's recipe dependant.

My frozen pizza instructions actually recommend putting the pie right on the rack for "best results." I suspect they're in league with oven cleaner supply companies.

This Person Flagging Their Dog’s [Drops] In The Backyard
Eggwodd 2 weeks ago (edited)
So am I to understand they took time to go into the back yard, plant flags next to pooo, when they could have just picked up the pooo?
KatWitch57 2 weeks ago
I'm guessing that they 'employ' someone else to pick up pooh, probably at minimum wage or less.

I once saw something slightly similar in Switzerland, possibly the most passiv-aggressive thing ever. There was a dog t**d on a grass verge. Now that is a crime most Swiss people would argue should be punishable by death. Anyway, someone had planted a little sign with an arrow right next to it, reading "Dass ist Scheiss". The same double meaning as in English can be inferred. It stayed there for months until it had completely dissolved away. No more turds were evident during that time.

This Person Repaired Their Bumper With A Lot Of Zip Ties
Ace 2 weeks ago
Not stupid. They're not "bumpers" any more anyway, but are designed to break with only a slight impact, so this isn't compromising safety or anything. I think it looks pretty cool as well, as it happens.

Looks better than the duct tape most people would use. I did this to my mother's car the last time she was in an accident until she could get it fixed within a couple of weeks.
Damned_Cat 2 weeks ago
I recently saw a video where someone did a similar repair in a crisscross pattern. It didn't look bad.

Yeah, that's a bumper cover, not a bumper. Purely cosmetic. Gives it a nice sort of 'Frankenstein' look.
JK 2 weeks ago
I had my bumper cover taped on for a bit because I backed into the concrete wall trying to get out of my parking space. Blue car, so I used painters tape. Then I did it again and it kinda sagged. Luckily, I have a friend who is good with that so he took out the rear light and riveted it back together. Can't even tell.
Zig Zag Wanderer 2 weeks ago (edited)
I use white duct tape to tape my bumper on where it's come apart. Classy, because my car is white. Passed the exact type and colour of car, but with silver tape in the same place. I looked at him smugly 😎

I can see the logic, leave the paper wrapper on the spare one to ensure the older one gets used first, otherwise it might get past its expiry date and need to be thrown out. /j

Seen many of the stories about E. coli and listeria in lettuces recently? A study done by the CDC researching foodborne illnesses (study comprised of the time period between 1998 - 2008) showed that 46% of all foodborne illnesses were attributed to produce, NOT meat. "A combination of six plant food categories accounted for nearly half of all illnesses – fruits and nuts, fungi vegetables, leafy vegetables, root vegetables, sprout vegetables, and vine-stalk vegetables." Meat and poultry only contributed 22% of all foodborne illnesses in that same study. So, you are completely incorrect.

He Had One Task. Does Anyone Have Common Sense Anymore?

Common Sense is on backorder. The supply chain was disrupted when Trump applied a 1000% tariff, and people cheered because it would bring prices down.

Turn Your Bag People. Just Look At How Others Are Doing It. Awareness Is Not Common Sense Apparently
Roxy222uk 2 weeks ago
So if you have to fit your bag up there too you just lean down and say “I’m just turning your bag so I can fit mine on as well”. What is the matter with people. I’d probably make a joke like “I didn’t want you to think I was having a rifle” or otherwise compliment it and ask where they got it from. What is this mind set of “I don’t want to resolve things!!! I want to be angry with someone!!!”?

Look At Them Blocking Free Left. No Common Sense
Ace 2 weeks ago
Are they referring to the helmet being carried on that passenger's arm? Not uncommon. Safety precautions, just like traffic rules, are viewed as optional in India.
Boris Long-Johnson 2 weeks ago
India drives on the left side of the road like the UK so my guess is they mean that all the scooters want to go straight on, but they’re blocking the ability to turn left even though it’s clear on the junction

What do you think ?

My common sense story. Me exited to go wandering on the mud flats on the north sea coast. Also me changing into a bathing suit to go swimming while I wander the mud flats. I arrive at the shore and see no water for miles - just the, well, mud flats up to the far horizon. And slowly the knowledge that if you can take long walks on the sea bottom, you probably cant swim in the same place at the same time, starts loading into my brain.
UKGrandad 2 weeks ago (edited)
Please don't ever wander on mud flats alone, even if you think you know the area well. Always have somebody above the high tide line watching you and keeping an eye on the tide, and make sure you know the tide times and give yourself plenty of time to get clear. Not only is there a real risk of stepping into quicksand and getting stuck, but because the land is so flat, when the tide turns the water comes in faster than a person can run - and you are on the sea floor, remember. In 2004, at least 23 people were drowned while cockle picking one evening on the mudflats at Morecambe Bay, England, because the tide turned and overran them. I said 'at least' 23 because they were illegal Chinese immigrants working for a boss who had no idea how many pickers were out there, and although 23 bodies were found, more may have washed out to sea.

I hate the phrase, "common sense." Especially when lawmakers use it. Everything is learned, and just because YOU learned it, doesn't mean someone else did. The phrase is just a way to make you feel superior to someone that didn't learn whatever it is they did wrong.

Is it normal to set off for the day looking for something to be annoyed about, photograph, and post online? What a miserable way through life. I’ll always speak up, with a smile, a joke, and a “I’m so sorry to disturb you, but could you help me?” In my experience it is very rare for the other person to just say no, I can only think of two examples. And in one case I phoned the manager and said that I’d want to know if I was the manager, so I thought I’d let her know how one of her members of staff behaved. Ha.
