Default What's a reasonable number of times to be asked to give a jump start?

I am getting a bit ****ed off with having to keep jump starting the
bloody car - 5 times in the last two days.

I had a neighbour like that. Long since departed. He was a teacher, so
perhaps used to being obeyed.


What a coincidence, my neighbour is a teacher.


Those who can, do...
Those who can't, teach.


And those that cannot teach, become an adviser.
