Would you ever borrow something from your neighbor

[Phoebe]

I would lend or borrow anything from most neighbors. We have people borrow stuff all the time and vice versa.

Our neighbors are pretty awesome and we rely heavily on each other. Lending pressure washers, snowblowers, shovels, emergency babysitting, cooking items, etc. We also are hyper-vigilant about strange cars on the street, etc.

If it's my neighbor across the street or my sister (around the corner and down the street), sure. Anytime and anything. Heck, during residency, the neighbor across the street sent her husband to mow the lawn for us. I would also lend to the priest two doors down.

I would totally lend/borrow with two neighbors out of 5. Both couples are retired teachers and are super nice.

In all our NYC apartments it would have never occurred to me to do so. 99% of the time I didn't even know their names or what they looked like. I think it all really boils down to how well you know your neighbors and how friendly the area tends to be in general.

Um, you are Catholic. Wouldn't it be bad form to NOT help the priest?

I have borrowed and lent foods- onions, garlic, eggs. Not sure if I would borrow/lend something bigger and less replaceable. It would depend on the person.

He and my husband are the on,y two people on our block who go down the alley to start a run. I almost backed into him one morning, then started to question why a strange black man was running down the alley. Then I realized it was Father without his collar. Oops!

(A funny: our parish, in the next suburb, also has an associate pastor with the same first name from the same African country)
