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.

Not rude at all. I wouldn't even ask for a phone charge.
Just don't plug your giant bitcoin miner in.
rolls huge server rack filled with GPUs into the doctor's office
"Yo doc, mind if I plug in for a bit?"
Well, seeing as you asked so nicely.
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.
