How often you forget to use common sense?

It is said that common sense is the biggest sense. What does it mean? It simply means that sometimes instead of thinking big we should listen to the common sense which lies deep in our minds but we ignore it.
People go to market and park their vehicles at the bends or corners of the road though there is ample space in between. We ignore the warning that we should not park at such points and simply create big inconvenience for the other drivers and pedestrians. If someone asks us why we did it, we simply smile and say that it did not occur to us. There are umpteen number of such examples where instead of using our common sense we act foolishly only to get ashamed later.
How often you forget to use common sense? Do you realise it later? Please share your experience.

The example cited by the author regarding parking vehicles haphazardly is a widespread problem. It is not that they don't know but they don't care. They want their convenience but not the inconvenience caused to others. It is deplorable. One should not cause inconvenience to others. But people conveniently forget this point.
Many people use their common sense in many instances and do things normally. But they forget this common sense when they want to act too smart. They think the other side is not smart. There lies the problem. Oneday I was going out somewhere and a motorbike was parked in a street and created obstruction for four wheelers. I saw this and at the same moment, a police vehicle also came. As soon as the police vehicle came the driver of that two-wheeler came running from inside and removed the vehicle. I have to stay for about 5 minutes. Knowingly only, the person parked the vehicle.

Common sense is something that saves us from a lot of inconveniences, only thing is we have to use it rather ignore it. There are people who use their common sense and then reap the benefits. A person going to market forgets to take the bag and then faces inconvenience and brings things in polythene bags or sometimes even buys a new bag. A small forgetfulness and we have to pay for it.
Common sense does not require extra efforts but it simply requires us to be patient and thoughtful.
In our houses elders many times scold us that we don't have sense and do things hephazardly. What they mean is we jump at the things rather than taking them in a proper way using the common sense.
Using common sense does not require higher qualifications or any course. It is a natural gift given to us by the nature and we have simply to do things using it.

Using common sense means to do the things in a better way. For example if I am doing some work where small things can fall here and there and create a mess then it makes sense to do it over a sheet of cloth or newspaper. If we do that then the winding up of the activity would be very convenient.
Another example is that if after taking a bath I run the wiper on the floor then the next person whoever uses the bathroom will not have any risk of slipping.
There are many examples like that where we can use our common sense and benefit by that.
In fact all the tips and tricks we use in our various activities are nothing but using the common sense. There are many short videos in the internet where we are told to do the same thing in a different but better way.
People who use common sense perform efficiently. We must use it in all of our activities.

Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

Common sense sometimes becomes uncommon to many of us. Let us just take an instance of parking our bike hurriedly in a place where the cars are parked orderly and due to missing an urgent paper, he has parked the vehicle wrongly obstructing others. Though it is for a short time, This speaks of the negligence of the man having parked his vehicle wrongly causing inconvenience to others.
Hence it is always advisable to apply an extra sense to make others comfortable with the application of common-sense.

To put it precisely, common sense is the sense that is expected commonly, irrespective of the status, qualification or position of an individual who is in his senses. So, we can say that common sense means acting sensibly and reasonably in such a manner that neither we nor others are put to any type of inconvenience. It is a fact that all of us forget to use our common sense, but it is the reasons behind such forgetfulness that matters. Time, situations, the type of work we are engaged in, our schedule, routine etc. can all make us forget the rule of common sense at times, but it is when one deliberately, due to whatever reason, chooses to ignore this sense that it becomes questionable.

I am not an exemption and I do forget to use common sense sometimes, but I think I do so only rarely and mostly due to forgetfulness or compulsion and never deliberately.
