There is no such thing as common sense, just logic and stupidity. One can move from one category to the other through trial and error, but don't ever believe that something is "common sense" because your view on something is not the same as someone else.

Common sense is also code for 'something I learned passively through my environment and assume everyone else should have too.'

This is a good one, I've fallen into this trap myself several times. Thinking something's just common sense, only to be disappointed by the person I put my faith in.
