Not a fan. Mostly because every time I hear someone saying something is common sense, it is very much not to me.

I had a feeling I was going to be a loner on this one.

Last January when I got transferred here, I was talking to the guys getting to know them, see what they knew, figure out where they needed work etc. One in particular, kept saying things were common sense when, in fact, they were not common sense at all nor were they even correct. His particular brand of common sense defied logic, physics at times, and job competency.

This is sort of my own particular "corporate speak" type rant.

I know the court sided w/the elderly woman because McD's was warned previously about the temperature of their coffee, but common sense should tell you not to put a to go cup of coffee between your legs :wink:

This thread illustrates your definition of common sense quite well.

My buddy Thomas also thinks this is a paine.

This rant is about people who ascribe something to common sense incorrectly for manipulative reasons.

Same guy opens a valve. I say, do you know what exactly opening that valve does? His reply, "Not really."
