Common sense, or lack thereof...
Why is it that many academically smart individuals are the dumbest people when it comes to things that everyone knows...or can piece together? (I use --everyone-- as a broad term, of course, disregarding those who cannot decipher commonsense)
This summer, I volunteered to help my highschool revarnish the gymnasium (not out of the goodness of my heart, it meant I didn't have to take gym all year!) Back to the story, this girl -Mable- and I were taking our shifts stripping the paint with (the name eludes me) paint-stripper! (for lack of a better term) There is a concrete strip outside the court floor with a drainage hole for floods. She poors this stripper down into the hole and takes out matches.... I am in no particular mood to see her become the Faceless Wonder ![]() She threatens to light it SEVERAL times, when I finally go get the superviser. How in the world can anyone be that stupid? Anyway, do you know anyone who does brainless things?
