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.

Not rude at all. I wouldn't even ask for a phone charge.

Just don't plug your giant bitcoin miner in.

"Yo doc, mind if I plug in for a bit?"

Going to need a little more power, do you have a 50Amp outlet in the back?

There's a street light outside my house, I swear I'm going to open the hatch and install a gpo if I ever get an electric car.
