lack of consideration
Not thinking ahead
Lack of consideration is thoughtlessness or failure to account for others' feelings, needs, or circumstances.
The phrase often appears in complaints about rudeness or self-centeredness: His lack of consideration for the neighbors was appalling.
In legal contexts, lack of consideration means a contract is missing something of value exchanged between parties, potentially making it unenforceable.
