Things you assume are common sense, but aren't?

[youngone]

What are some really common obvious things you thought everyone knew, but were surprised to learn that actually, some people don't know?

For example my ex had no clue that having your period means your not pregnant... I was moody so he was asking me to take a pregnancy test, but he knew I had my period he couldn't understand why I wasn't worried!

Nutrition facts are ones that constantly annoy me- more of the medias fault misguiding people with their BS 'healthy' advertising agendas though. Like people thinking deep fried sushi is good for them

(side note; please can we not make this about spelling? thanks!)

Share yours!!

And my best friend thought gravity made things float

Most of the time these things are common sense but people just don't have any. Xx

My sister still doesn't know when a program is ending or whether it's just a break. Credits at the end of the show seem to allude her. She's 26!

Ummm...my first boyfriend thought that when you had your period it was like just going for a wee(if only!!!)

and I worked with someone,who had 2 kids,and genuinely thought erections were actual bone...

The way some people park.

I had a friend ask me where your brain was when I had asked her not to stick stuff up her nose it could be dangerous. She was serious. One of many stupid things she said in her 20s.

People that walk past the "private property " sign for a walk in the garden , the signs mean you arnt allowed in.

Cyclists who cycle on the road beside the bike path made for them?? why?

girls who wear massive heals to festivals, mud stones etc.
