Have you ever borrowed a cup of sugar or had a neighbour borrow one from you?!


Question: Yes... and I have borrowed as well.. A good neighbor is well worth having. Not only to borrow from but because you need to know your neighbors. Down in southern US we tend to be that way. After Hurricane Katrina my neighbor came to ask if my chickens had laid any eggs as they desperately wanted an egg.. which was hard to come by then. So appreciate your neighbor and hopefully they will appreciate you as well.

My brother is my neighbor and we do that. He will borrow sugar, and ice from me and sometimes I will borrow some eggs from him.

I've had sugar and other ingredients borrowed from me. I've borrowed a cup of flour from someone once but that is it.

actually yes. When I was living in an apartment a neighbor asked to borrow a cup of sugar; although, I didn't ask for it back when they were done with it.

Not as an adult with sugar at least but I have had neighbors borrow my phone and I borrowed an egg from a neighbor one time.

I've actually borrowed sugar from my neighbor.(I was in the mood for koolaid lol)After she asked me if I had any eggs before...

Yep. My 2 neighbors and I borrow back and forth all the time. It's usually a can of soup for a recipe, or eggs. But it has been sugar at times too. Women used to do this back in the 50's especially when most families only had one car and Dad took it to work. it wasn't possible for Mom to get to the store so neighbors borrowed often.

ive borrowed and been borrowed from. but i live in a small town where my neighbors arent really strangers...

Yes, and a few other items.

Yes, once. But I realy didn't need it. I just wanted to be nice and get to meet them. I'm shy and thought I needed an excuse. Boy was I wrong. Every went just fine.

My condo neighbor asked me for sugar once bc she was right in the middle of baking chocolate chip cookies. I thought it was cute, I like the way people used to know eachother and act neighborly.

Yes actually, and a cup of flour. (She borrowed from me and I from her.)

I have had a couple of neighbors do that. I have not. I try not to run out of staples like that. Plus I would feel like I was imposing.

Yes we have and our new neighbor borrowed a cup of flour and bought us back a small bag of flour in return.

many times!

No, I feel like that's a Urban Myth lol. Neighbors are in most cases strangers, and strangers can be creepy.

I especially won't be letting a neighbor borrow anything after seeing Funny Games.
