Let's post a couple of common sense thoughts on here, maybe we can all learn a bit about what others consider common sense and maybe things that we do that we didn't use our common sense for. I'll start.......

If you are in the grocery store you don't park your cart in the middle of the aisle and then walk all the way to the other end of it to get something.

If there is a line at the counter, walking up and standing beside the line doesn't put you at the front of it

    Oh that "line" thing bothers me to no end!

    How about- if you are walking down a crowded sidewalk, do not just abruptly stop to text someone on your phone. There are people walking behind you and while I would love to personally run you over, I imagine there would be some consequences for that.

    When you're driving down the highway, and you see that there is someone trying to merge on the right and there is NO ONE in the left lane, turn on your blinker and slide over.

    If your kid is throwing a fit in the middle of the store - don't yell at them and drag them around. Instead, leave the cart and walk out with the child(ren). They'll figure it out real quick once that happens. At least, mine did....

    I LOOOATHE both of these examples. Honestly I yelled at a guy at the gas station for that just the other day.

    "Listen man I'm not trying to stand in this line all day."

    "No you're trying to be a selfish *kitten*. Now shut up and wait."

    Working out has done wonders for my big mouth.

    If you're outside a public bathroom (as in at a Sounder train station) and the door is locked, perhaps that means someone is using it. Don't stand out there and keep trying the door handle and knocking on the door!

    When you reach the top of an escalator, please start walking. Don't stand there and plan your next move.

    If you are in the middle of Walmart or other store dont stand in the middle of the aisle blocking it just to talk to someone else.....Move over and get out of the way!!

    haha I am loving these.
    If you are in the fast lane, and people are piling up behind you, get past the car you wanna get past and then get the heck out of the way. Doesn't matter if you are going 2 miles an hour above the speed limit that doesn't give you the right to hang out in the fast lane

    Having two shopping carts each with 14 items doesn't mean you can go through the express lane.



    and Don't eat yellow snow!

    Don't fill your shopping trolley with 2 for £1 multipacks of crisps just because they are cheap. Likewise lemonade.

    Only get in line if you are finished shopping, it does not mean your friend gets to come up and piggyback her purchase behind your purchase just because you came into the store together.

    If you see someone push the elevator button there is really no need to push it again

    oh and if it's your TOM bloating and weight gain can be expected...........girls seem to be confused about this, I thought the midol commercials had that covered but I guess not

    Actually, in my building, there is. We have to select our floor and only get on the assigned elevator. There are no floor buttons in the actual elevators.

    If you get on a mostly empty bus, don't sit next to people unless you know them. If it's crowded, that's fine, sit where you can. If you sit next to someone, try to not sleep on them. :flowerforyou:
