I'm wondering if you are having some problems with your exterior outlets. We should all help each other whenever we can, and I would ask that you give me a heads up when you are going to plug into our outlet. We don't want to use the same circuit for some other appliance and blow the breaker. Hey, have a great day, and anything that we can do to help, let us know."

One week later TH sees the gent again......

Hey neighbor. I noticed you were siphoning gas from my car to fill your gas cart. I certainly do not mind..... BTW, while we are being neighborly could you ask you wife to at least wear a bathing suit when using our pool when we are not here ?

PS. I cannot imagine plugging into someones elses electrical outlet without asking......
