Turns Out Common Sense Ain't So Common

This girl at my work asked one of the trainers how to clean the coffee pot and machine. The trainer explained how to shut down the machine and then told her to wash out the pot itself. The girl responded, "Do I need to dump out the coffee too?" The trainer responded, "Well, that's really up to you. However, I'm not sure how you're gonna clean the coffee pot with the coffee still in it."

Common sense is far from common. I sympathize with this girl, because, despite having what I would call a good amount of common sense when it comes to abstraction and logic, I am also as inept when it comes to practical matters like that.

I find it quite easy to clean a coffee pot with coffee still in it.
