How acceptable is it, if you can reach a plant / tree from the sidewalk, to pick someone else's fruit? Would that be considered weird, or totally acceptable behavior?
Only if you're weird about it. If it's a tree on the sidewalk, go for it.
In Hawaii it's quite funny to see, because it if can be reached, it can be taken. So there are these hilarious fellas who have these baskets on long poles, and at the end of it there's this little hand/grabber thing. They reach out as far as they can over the fence, press the button at the bottom, and fwoomp! There goes the fruit from the tree into the basket. I remember my cousin staking out avocados waiting for them to get ripe.
Hmm, weird but maybe good weird unless the person is weird about it.
And I mean just like 1 or 2 pieces. Not backing up a truck or anything. In case that changes your answer. Thanks
My dream is that people could live in supportive communes or whatever, so this seems fine to me.
If it's overhanging public property it's fair game. The owner has plenty of fruit on their side too I'll bet. If they take issue with it they can guide their plant so it's confined to their property. That being said I wouldn't be reaching over the fence to yank a cucumber or apple.
