No really! It's like it's polite. It doesn't even seem to matter what it's for, you can even SAY it's for your game boy! Just ask, they give, they don't mind at ALL. I know, I did the same thing without realizing it when someone else asked for some and I didn't feel the slightest bit put out! It's amazing really. Can't do the same with lightbulbs though for some reason...
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
