It's been my experience that if you're the guy that has a garage full of tools, and if you're a pleasant person, there will be no shortage of people who ask you to help them out from time to time. At the old house, it was Dorothy who had me on speed-dial, in my current place the main culprit is Bill. Sometimes it's not convenient, but how can you say no. It'd be like saying "I can't" to your elderly mom or your great great uncle. Or even just a friend. If I can help, I try to be of assistance.
(But the anecdote about needing the 25 for the gift of a handmade hat is definitely a high water mark!)
