You Shouldn't Take up an Entire Hallway

You Shouldn't Take up an Entire Hallway If you've ever been to the city, or just in a crowded school, you'll know how frustrating this can be. Even though it should be common sense to walk fast when there are people behind you, or at least step to the side so that they can go around you, nobody does it. That's why you're always stuck walking at a snail's pace behind a group of friends that doesn't realize there are other people in the world.

Let People out of Elevator before You Enter It

screenshot, When you're getting out of an elevator, or off of a bus, you don't need people on the outside shoving past you to get inside of it. It should be common sense to let everyone exit the elevator or bus before the other people try to get on it. Otherwise, everyone's going to end up bumping into each other.

3

Pay for What You Need, and then for What You Want

Pay for What You Need, and then for What You Want There are some people who can't pay their rent, but spend plenty of their money on alcohol and new clothes. However, they should be paying their rent and then using the leftover money to buy the fun things in life, not the other way around.

Kids Require a Lot of Work

Kids Require a Lot of Work There are some people who rush to have children, because they think that having a baby will be fun. They don't realize that babies actually require a lot of attention. They'll wake you up in the middle of the night, bleed your wallet dry, and prevent you from going out on Friday nights. That should be common sense, but some people just don't get it.

Don’t Put Inappropriate Pictures Online

Don’t Put Inappropriate Pictures Online Even if you want to impress your crush, you shouldn't post half-naked pictures of yourself on the internet. Your boss could see it and fire you. Your grandmother could see it and have your parents ground you. It's common sense to keep your private parts private.

Famous Quotes

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

Use Your Turn Signals

Use Your Turn Signals If you want proof that half of the world has no common sense, all you need to do is jump into a car. There are plenty of people who won't do simple things, like use their turn signals before they pull out in front of you. It could cause an accident, but they don't seem to realize that or even care.

Don’t Be Mean to Other People

color, hair, facial expression, face, nose, This is a simple concept. You shouldn't tell anyone to kill themselves. You shouldn't make fun of the way anyone looks. You shouldn't be mean to others, just for the fun of it. Do what your teachers taught you in kindergarden and treat others the way you'd like to be treated. It's not hard.

Unfortunately, not all of us have common sense. There are plenty of people who will just do as they please without thinking about how their actions are impacting the people around them. What other "common sense" rules do you wish more people would follow?

Actually, most people don't get any of the things that fall under the "common sense" category, it's more of an oxymoron than "military intelligence".

When someone makes a mistake, even the smallest mistake and someone just HAS to correct them, insult them, ect. Nobody is perfect and it's so frustrating to me to see people, especially women criticizing each other over the smallest things! Let's work on building each other up and encouraging one another!

Mu bugbear is when foolish wen stand in the middle of the pavement with a pushchair with a child in it its like common sense just stand on the side so people can walk by without screaming 'excuse me' very annoying and selfish behaviour
