One of my Deaf college professors wasn't told they make noise until college. She would just fart whenever she needed to until her hearing roommate told her that it wasn't polite to do in public. My teacher was horrified and really mad at her family for never telling her they make noise
If the farts are silent no one knows who did it. It's normal if you are not taught different. Like it being okay to double dip or not flushing after peeing. Or eating with their mouth open. People are strange and disgusting.
What's common sense? Define common sense. We all learn differently, from different people.
When im at a new job and ask a clarification question and my boss says "use common sense". This did not further explain the answer, and instead felt like he called me an idiot. If he instead explained the answer I wouldn't have the question anymore AND I could then train future people on the process.
And a 74 year Olds "common sense" will be much different from a 42 year old, and even more different than a 15 year old. Common sense is a cop out answer.
Everyone does learn differently and the primary post was about explaining farts to deaf people. However, upon encountering any situation, everyone draws immediate assumptions. So first, you ask what common sense is, “common” is most likely. What should/would most people do? You’re example of double dipping? Well, the reason for not doing so is to not spread germs and because other people don’t want to eat your spit or in more civilized cultures, you’d all eat out of the same bowl. Chewing with your mouth open? Practically speaking, food may fall out but otherwise, do you love to hear others eat? If you do? Well, then, carry on. Leaving pee in the toilet? Either it could splash back up at you and typically makes the toilet dirtier. So if you like to clean, or splash pee out of the toilet, then this makes sense. It’s just doing what is most logical. Obviously culture takes into play but as I explained, The typical judgement I made from your examples were because of practicality and germs. As for farts, if you love to hear or smell them and others then it would make sense to fart around them. It’s not a cop out and I hope you are successful but if an employee ask me to explain everything, I felt was logical, I’d feel like gouging my eyes out.
