A very serious (and highly misunderstood) symptom of Sensory Deprivation Disorder -- itself a symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorder -- where a person gets too overwhelmed by the world around them, causing extremely irrational behavior.
The most common cause is too much noise, especially the sounds of multiple people talking at once. However, one loud talker (or one loud, irritating sound) is usually enough to trigger it. When a person is going into sensory overload, they will usually exhibit signs of extreme distress, such as clutching their head to shield their eyes and/or ears. They may become extremely irritable, lashing out at just about anyone. They may also wince or flinch if it comes on suddenly.
People who suffer from it often describe the feeling as though they are being attacked, and that their mind is so clouded that they lose all rational thought. And of course, being a symptom of autism, there is no cure.
If you see someone exhibiting these symptoms, especially the wincing, you should immediately shut the fuck up and make sure everyone in the room does so too. The only way to stop a bout of sensory overload is for everything to be totally silent for about 15-30 minutes.

If you want to know what sensory overload feels like, listen to the music that plays during the Death Egg Zone in Sonic 2, before the two final bosses. Everything feels terrifying and distorted, while your mind is just trying to calm down and pretend that everything is okay when it's not.
It's a very real disorder and it deserves more attention.

2. Lacking common sense, but typically still intelligent.
Common senseless moments are often accompanied by either personal injury or a financial blow, and they almost always involve extreme mortification.
Ex. The most common senseless moment I’ve ever had was when I went to that bathroom in the woods and wiped with a poison ivy leaf. Ouch.
Ex. How is it possible that my sister goes to Harvard and yet she still manages to run out of gas at least once a week. She is so common senseless!

Get the Common Senseless mug.Arguably the sexiest, most powerful, most muscular and most omnipotent character in all of ninjago, he should’ve become the green- NO, golden ninja instead of that little sh*t of a brat called Lloyd. Dareth is the sole reason any of the ninja survived their battles and so the true saviour of ninjago. He could’ve become rich and got women but instead started a dojo to teach others his epic ways because she’s a great guy. They better make a legacy golden dareth LEGO set or I will hold obama hostage in the post office.
