Is it rude to borrow an unused power outlet without asking?
Is it rude to borrow an unused power outlet without asking?
Sometimes I'm at the doctor's office, at the library, or even at the grocery store and see an unused power outlet. My phone is dying. I feel weird plugging in, but I feel even weirder asking for permission.
You're viewing a single thread.
Dr office, no in the waiting room, yes in the exam room. Library, no. Grocery store, yes. Any more?
Airport? Shopping mall? Restaurant? Parking lot? Stadium? Your friend's house? The office? Classroom? Museum? Cinema?
BDSM parlor.
Edit: I got it backwards, meaning these are what I'd consider acceptable places to charge your phone.
Airport? Yeah but use a no-data charging cable.
Mall? I don't see why anyone would care about that.
Restaurant? If it's under your table or very close by.
Parking lot? Do they have outlets?
Stadium? Where would they be charging it at a stadium, maybe where the bathrooms and concessions are? If it's out of the way I don't think that would bother anyone.
Your friends house? Yeah unless they're running an off-the-grid setup or something.
The office? Yes fuck the man.
Classroom? I assume they can charge it somewhere while in class, I've been out of there for a while though.
Museum? Eh, feel like it can wait.
Cinema? No.
You forgot public pool and bathroom
I've never seen a power outlet in the public pool...
No, maybe, yes, no, no, yes unless you know better, no, depends how old you are, maybe, no so long as its off/silent.
Also, I'll note in case anyone forgot, the original question was not "can you?", but "is it rude?" Which are two different things.
Lmao
I think it'd have to be no for all them, no? Besides maybe museum or cinema, but I guess it depends on where the outlet is.
I've definitely plugged in the exam room, they leave you to wait for 10-15 minutes I can get 30-50% charge while waiting.
