Common sense isn't so common

(phrase / life observation / savage truth)

A brutally honest way to say that just because something seems obvious, most people will still find a way to mess it up. Perfect for moments when humanity disappoints you, usually in public or online.

Used when:

Someone does something completely avoidable or facepalm-worthy.

You realize society collectively skipped the “how to adult” manual.

You want to sound smart while judging idiots.

Meaning: Humans often act in ways that defy logic, and that’s on them.

Synonyms: “Apparently, this is optional,” “Logic is rare,” “Humanity, why?”
Examples of contexts in which common sense isn't so common:

Coworker: “I put metal in the microwave.”
You: “Common sense isn’t so common.”

Friend: “I just walked into traffic because I was texting.”
You: “Common sense isn’t so common.”

Internet comment section: literally anything ever.

So Sorry

There is no "So Sorry"
Hym "You aren't 'So sorry.' That isn't a thing you are capable of being. It doesn't translate to anything real. Even if I have to murder someone's kids, you STILL won't be sorry. And neither will I. Because you and I will both know that that is the outcome you want. As long as I am not free you aren't going to have a problem with someone else burying their kids because they are taking a bullet for the people obstructing my path. The meat shields are too stupid to understand that they are meat shields. And until they get out of the way, the wrong people are guaranteed to die."

Any particular movement or behavior that is so strange and unfamiliar to the understanding of humanity and the realm of our universe.
