We experience a nearly complete lack of "common sense" in day to day life. I attribute this to "the fast food" mentality wherein: one must order only off the menu. No one knows how to prepare anything other than items on the menu; even though all the ingredients and tools exist in the kitchen. Absolutely crazy that they would feel the need to ship your replacement to a location where you will not be found. George Orwell had fact figured out pretty well in his fiction.
