It should come as no surprise that having neither situational awareness or common sense is often hazardous to one's health, wallet or both.
You can find innumerable examples of this concept at work but any behavioral rule of thumb you attempt to write using any handful of examples will have so many exceptions it will be about as useful as a coin toss to anybody so lacking in situational awareness and common sense that they needed the rule of thumb to help them in the first place.
Nobody has infinite cognitive ability and the less you have the more valuable any one bit is so the temptation to replace thinking with rules of thumb is understandable and has merit but trying to replacing thinking with crap rules "do/don't park here/there during inclement weather" is well beyond the point where diminishing returns become a fool's errand. There is simply no replacement for situational awareness and common sense.

Common sense says that getting under shelter during a storm is a good idea. If your common sense is more scientific and evolved, that's great for you, but I'm one of the people who needed to be told that an underpass can be a dangerous place to hide, so maybe just be glad that you're smarter than the average bear and don't waste too much effort looking down at the rest of us?
