Until today I have never fully appreciated the true blessing of having common sense. I always heard that not everyone has common sense, but I thought this was a relative statement and that what they meant was that not everyone has A LOT of common sense.This morning during set up for breakfast I had a conversation that proved to me that there are actually people who don't have ANY common sense...here is how the conversation went.
me: "Are those all the pastries for this breakfast?" As I look at a small platter of danishes.
caterer: "Yes, the note says there are 40."
me: "But there are 46 people in this group. That isn't even one per person."
caterer: "Do you think there will be a problem?"
An hour later I'm pulled aside by a very nervous caterer who in a most panicked voice "people are taking two, what are you going to do?
I looked at her and calmly replied that I was not going to do anything. I had pointed out two hours ago that there was not enough food.
