After realizing his outside plug was being used, the homeowner followed the cord and found that his entitled neighbor had been using his power to run his Halloween decorations. No, he didn't ask. And the worst part is that this has been running for the first two weeks of the month, so the bill he gets will already be huge. Anyway, he confronted the man and asked why this was happening. Want to know the answer? He said that his outlet didn't work and that this was for the kids. “You don't want to be that house on Halloween”, he said…. What does that even mean?
Listen, if you want to put a whole circus outside your door, that's fine for me. Who cares? I'd even like to see it from my window. But why wouldn't you use my own power? Really, he's stealing electricity. After this man guilt-tripped him, the homeowner unplugged the cord, threw it over his side of the fence, and the next morning he bought a lock for the outlet. Now, only he could use it. He didn't encounter the neighbor, but he found a $5 bill on his mailbox with a note that said: “for October". Yay! The neighbor decided to pay… only he's missing $10 .
The moment the homeowner finally decides to pull the plug on his neighbor's free Halloween display.

Whenever I read stories like this, the biggest problem isn't the fact that they use electricity. Is the fact that they don't ask first. So, basically, they are stealing from their neighbors. Why wouldn't you ask first? Really, I don't get it, because the only thing you end up with is a damaged relationship with the people next door. Maybe that's just me… But honestly, please, ask your neighbor if they are okay with you using their power…
