Do you like to hear people saying "you don't have common sense".

I agree that peaple have different perceptions and experiences and different attitudes towards life and that makes them do things differently than others. But sometimes people often do simple things in a complicated way, just wasteing their time and effort unnecesarrily. though i dont like to hear or say "you dont have common sense" but still i do agree that "Common sense is really uncommon".

I do not like when someone tells me "Don't you have common sense". But I have not got such a comment before. It is so rude to say someone like that. The person may either be impatient or acting very smart. The idea is to be patient enough to explain the other person where he / she has gone wrong and correct them. Thats it. Why unnecessarily hurt someone.

Of course, no one likes to here those things, no one likes to be insulted right? People who used to say those things to others are more stupid because if they know exactly what to do then they should be the one who make it. They shouldn't ask it from others to do it for them. Besides, not what we think is same as what others will also think. I agree with you that we have different perceptions in life. There are no exactly common things in this world. All of us is unique in different ways even in the form of thinking and giving ideas/opinions.

I don't think anybody will like people saying a person that he doesn't have common sense. But, sometimes I have seen people doing things which they should not do if they have common sense. I have even seen very educated and people who are in a high professional rank do things which a kid with common sense won't do.

I think one don't have to like this kind of dialogs. If you at mistake and somebody says like it then you have to ask them what's wrong for that. If somebody says it withour reason, you must not like it and make them aware of it. Thank you.

No one would ever like to hear that statement. I think by saying "you don't have common sense" is saying the person is useless and stupid which is hurtful and insulting. Sometimes it is said idiomatically but people have differences when it comes to taking criticisms. Some would ignore it knowing that it was just meant to criticize and not really to insult, but there are people who take it too personally and get hurt a lot.

no and never. Those two eord doesnt only mean insult and belittling your being it hurts your morality and it dampens self esteem. i never get so affected with such nonsense remarks though. i always assure myself that i know me better and what they say about me are what they think, and they havent have basis because they dont know me that much either. Rather, i think about the praises and good words that i hear about my self. I dwell on those wonderful words that makes me feel better about my being. I hate those kinds of people who say bad about others just to make the other person feel bad about himself/herself, they dont deserve a place in this world if you ask me.

That's totally abrupt and rood when someone says that to someone else! I wouldn't like someone saying that to me and I would probably become quite hostile verbally. I think that we all have a degree of common sense anyhow and there will always be times when we make silly mistakes as well but this is part of life and living I guess! Andrew

when I hear people say"you don't have common sense",I'd think if it means that guy can't find any other flattering comments than "I'm different". But it's ok,because from another standpoint,this sentence means you are different from other people, maybe you have different kind of beauty,or your unique feature attracts people a lot.... If it doesn't mean you particularly push yourself forward, never mind,just treat it as a kind of unique flattering comments.

well, i think no one wants to hear that... it is insulting and can lower our self-esteem... instead of telling that someone "you don't have a common sense" why not tell him/her their mistake?? so that you could also understand their side. like what you've said, we have different perceptions and beliefs... =)

You're from the Philippines right? Don't be surprised if teenagers there don't care for elderly people if the latter are standing while the former are sitting. They are not like conservative and traditional Filipino people who are gentlemen or women, they have different cultures than us. Anyway, have you seen Filipino gentlemen nowadays when you ride in Lrt/MRT trains, you can find very few. Anyway, I also don't want other people tell me that you have no common sense. There are just people who don't care if they hurt your feelings. For them it is natural. Anyway, I just look at it in a different perspective that they are telling me that because God wants to mold my character and that God uses other people to criticize me or malign me to see if I am growing as a mature Christian and as His child. Cheers and God bless.

I was at a meeting some..oh..26 years ago and the speaker made this statement concerning common sense. He said 'If it were truly common then everyone would have it. Since no one has it its obviously not common..'. I don't let a statement about my lack of common sense bother me. I figure it just means that I don't agree with someone..Of course, that means that they don't agree with me either, so perhaps they're the one suffering from a lack of 'common sense' because afterall, that's pretty much what it means. If we agree its common. If we don't its not. To put it another way..We all define our own norm and we judge everything else in accordance to that norm.. ENJOY!

I don't care about that at all actually. Cuz everyone is different, and to different from others is nothing wrong as long as you don't hurt other people. And you've mentioned you'd been living abroad, I think there must be cultural barriers between contries, such as give the elder the seat maybe a custom in eastern country while westerners don't admit that they're old so don't want to given by the seat.So maybe we should understand the other culture and preserve our own way of life, right?

I don't like people said to me "you don't have common sense" i like my life style ,may be others can't accept it ,but i love my life. every one has his common sense ,yours diffenert from mine,mine diffenert from yours. of course, in society,we must compiy with the rules.so,even i don't like it ,sometime i am grateful to those people who told me that common sense.
