I have been giving this some thought and I think maybe I have some insight. Often when I have been having troubles and in an RV park..or parking lot or some boondocking spot...hood up or tools on the ground and me looking forlorn and lost, a person has walked over, asked the problem and either was able to tell me how to address it or even fixed it for me, or at least offered a beer.
I think maybe people have come to expect assistance, without really considering what they are doing or saying. We get spoiled and forget to look after ourselves. People like to help others and often enough it's an electrical problem, and they have some knowledge to share. I have fixed a couple fridge problems, used my charger to work a battery, lent tools. It's what people do. Then we get to thinking 'everyone' wants to do that.
Just a thought..and hey, if it's me you see looking like help is needed, c'mon over....
