Here is a list of a major lack of common sense I witness daily:
* The front entrance to a store is closed with a sign stating, "Please enter through rear entrance." This causes idiots to a) get angry, or b)leave completely, as they do not seem to know what "rear" means.
* Condoms: the label says, "effective for prevention of stds when used properly." Guess what that means? Don't touch or put your member in contact with the other person's genitalia until AFTER you put a condom on. That old, "but I used a condom!" doesn't work if you failed to use common sense whilst using one.
* In public toilets, I've noticed many women emerge from the stalls and turn on the faucet to wash their hands. Ok, so they turn on the faucet with their dirty hands, get the soap, lather, rinse and then, guess what? they touch the faucet again, thus placing all the germs they initially had on their hands back again. I always take a paper towel and turn off the water. It really isn't a complicated concept.
* Speaking of public toilets, have you ever had a weird urinary tract discomfort/infection? If you use public toilets without cleaning the seat and placing a protective sheet of paper betwixt the seat and your derriere, then you've just let a whole lot of other people's microscopic urinary and fecal material onto your own skin. If you don't believe me, take a microbiology course, that'll show you.
* Trucks that have signs posted on the bumper saying "Keep back 100 feet, not responsible for broken windshield" and those truck drivers shift into the lane right in front of you, hence, creating much less than 100 feet in between their truck and one's own vehicle, with the fragments of debris knocking off one's windshield as a result.
* People sucking on highlighter tips- with the highlighter exposed. Not only is that gross, it probably isn't very healthy either. I see one woman in class do that constantly throughout lecture.
Is it really so very hard to think a little bit more?
