Do You Have Common Sense?

In my post about wisdom, a question came up: “How do you tell if you have common sense?”

Here is the information I was able to find (from random sources on the Internet)

Characteristics of Common Sense

•It is universally accepted: It is considered known to almost everyone in a society.

•It is practical, not academic: It’s about solving everyday problems, not theoretical knowledge.

•It implies safety and courtesy: Many common-sense rules are designed to prevent harm or manage social interactions.

Now that I know what “common sense” is, I looked for examples of it.

•Wearing a Mask if you’re a Bad Guy committing a crime 
•Dressing Up for a Job Interview
•Using Oven Mitts
•Not Entering an Elevator Until Others Have Exited
•Check Both Ways Before Crossing the Road
•Not Checking Your Phone During a Job Interview   
•Don’t Bite the Hand that Feeds You   
•Not Congregating in a Doorway 
•Wearing Sunblock to the Beach 
•Don’t Hammer your Thumb
•Taking an Umbrella
•Look Where You Are Walking

Although common sense is a skill that is supposed to be common, apparently, it is not.
There are many examples of people acting in ways that are,
actually, the opposite of common sense.
There is a term for that, but it escapes me at the moment.

If your Mom was anything like mine, you would repeatedly hear these ones:
Eat over your plate
Take off your school clothes and put on your play clothes
Don’t run in the house
Go outside and play
Take smaller bites
Chew with your mouth closed

Please share family common sense lessons in the comments!
