I don't think you meant at work but, I almost exclusively charge my phone at work. Work pays for it, I'm on call all the time, so why should I spend my own money on the electricity to be on call for their business? |

I've done at the airport, same with the laptop but no where else. I have a huge pet peeve with douchebags that think they are so important they can't NOT answer their phone, or talk in the car with others around or at the check-out line in stores...etc.
RUDE! get over yourself you are a nobody same as me... |

Yeah.. I've done it at airports.... but hospitals/restaurants/etc..... eeeeeeh not so much. I can *almost* see it at a coffee shop, but if you're going to be there that long, you're almost taking advantage. Especially if you're drinking the 1.65 free refills coffee, ALL DAY.

I too do it at airports but that's about it.

I normally will just use the car charger if I am running low.

If I need a charge, and there's an outlet within reach of wherever I'm sitting, I'll charge up the phone. I won't go out of the way to do it, though.
Stealing electricity? Really? I mean, I guess I understand the logic, but should I also wear a parka so none of my heat escapes and uses up their air conditioning? |

Hella weak. You could leave your stereo on all day and it would only increase your power bill one cent.
And worrying about somone electrocuting themself? WTF is that all about? If that was such a big concern, then airports wouldn't allow it either. |

Not sure why it would be a big deal at airports sine they have those row seats with outlets between them.
