Is it rude to borrow an unused power outlet without asking?

CaspianXI@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 113 points –

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.

Yeah this is a great tip, you can get some that can fast charge your phone and plug directly into the wall. You can use it as a normal phone charger and then unplug it and bring it with you for 10,000mAh on the go

I bought a 20,000mAh portable battery. My partner hogged it from day 1, so I ordered another straight away.

Honestly a big battery is so liberating.

I like the 10 amp ones because the 20 amp ones are too large for flying carryon (or they used to be, they might have changed that law)

Yeah I started looking at carry on restrictions about a year ago. Everywhere in south East Asia/ Australia seems to be 24,000mAh IIRC.
