21 Times People Surprisingly Failed To Use Common Sense

Common sense sounds simple until you see how quickly people can miss the obvious. A parking spot, a door frame, a kitchen mistake, or a wildly bad assumption can turn into a story that is funny only because it should have been so easy to avoid.

This roundup pulls together 21 moments where people seemed to skip the most basic logic and went straight into chaos. Some of the examples are harmless, some are expensive, and a few are so absurd they almost feel staged.

Either way, the results are hard to ignore, and the last one is especially hard to explain.

They don’t teach you how to apply common sense in school or anywhere. While many think there might be an underlying psychological or mental issue responsible for the gross lack of common sense, most people show a lack of common sense because they’re engrossed in short-term thinking.
