Common sense isn't so common

(phrase / life observation / savage truth)

A brutally honest way to say that just because something seems obvious, most people will still find a way to mess it up. Perfect for moments when humanity disappoints you, usually in public or online.

Used when:

Someone does something completely avoidable or facepalm-worthy.

You realize society collectively skipped the “how to adult” manual.

You want to sound smart while judging idiots.

Meaning: Humans often act in ways that defy logic, and that’s on them.

Synonyms: “Apparently, this is optional,” “Logic is rare,” “Humanity, why?”

Examples of contexts in which common sense isn't so common:

Coworker: “I put metal in the microwave.”
You: “Common sense isn’t so common.”

Friend: “I just walked into traffic because I was texting.”
You: “Common sense isn’t so common.”

Internet comment section: literally anything ever.

Get the Common sense isn't so common mug.

No it isn't

No it isn't Matt.

Hym "No it isn't Matt. I do know and I know you know. I'm going to kill these kids Matt. You're taking a thing I said about confusion and applying broadly so you can justify doing what you're doing and instead you're justifying the murder of children. I'm just going to kill the kids. This isn't reason what you're doing here and your kids aren't that important."

This isn't one of those times

The basis of civil rights is changing how people interact with you in public.

Hym "This isn't one of those times! This is a 'I'm entitled to money for you doing that' times."

This isn't something for which I need to be held accountable

You need to stop doing this to me or I'm going to murder someone's kid.

Hym "This isn't something for which I need to be held accountable. I'm not doing YouTube bullshit to fix a life I did not break. I'm not letting you stop me from making this work."
