Ok, now I feel bad for ranting
Not all common stuff is automatically bad. When someone hands you their parking ticket because there's time left on it. When someone falls over in the street and people will run over from all around to check they're ok. People who offer their bus seat to a little old lady. That one person who, on your first day at work, will go out of their way to say hi and have a chat with you when you feel like a lonely, conspicuous twat. The kid who befriends the other kid who gets bullied. The person who helps you lug your buggy up 4 flights of stairs.

These are the types of things that actually help me see the point in getting out of bed in the morning.

Are these things
common? In either sense of the word?

That said, I always help people carry buggies up the stairs.



Then I push them off from the top.

I think they're pretty common
It's just people tend to notice the 4 spitting hoodies rather than the one person who buys the homeless bum a sausage roll.

What about
the one that hid the razor blade in it?

Agreed.
Students especially need to learn that common courtesy isn't a bad thing just because it's common, and that it applies to them as well.
