Common Sense: The Rarest Commodity on the Market 💡

You know what I’ve learned lately? Common sense should come with a warning label — “Use daily. Do not store indefinitely.”

It’s wild how the simplest logic seems to vanish in certain situations. Like when someone thinks placing a propane tank on a wooden deck right next to a grill is a solid life choice. I mean… what could go wrong, right? 🔥

Now, I’m no rocket scientist — I work with numbers, automation, and the occasional Excel meltdown — but even I know you don’t tempt fate (or the fire marshal) with that kind of setup. So yes, I reported it. Twice. Because sometimes “common sense” needs a little nudge in the right direction.

But here’s the kicker: we all have our moments. I once microwaved something with foil on it. Yep. Sparks, panic, and one very judgmental dog later, I learned my own lesson in “sense.”

So maybe that’s the deal — common sense isn’t really common. It’s a collection of personal “well, I won’t do that again” stories we accumulate over time. Some of us just collect more… colorfully.

So here’s to all of us who keep our wits sharp, our propane tanks distant, and our microwaves foil-free. May we never stop learning — even when the lesson smells a little smoky. 😅
