daf bit: Nedarim 32
According to the mishna, the only difference between one who vowed not
to benefit in any way from his neighbor and one who vowed not to benefit
from his neighbor's food (apparently not an uncommon vow)
is in walking over the other's property and using non-food-related
utensils. If he vowed not to benefit from his neighbor's food he cannot
borrow a sifter, sieve, millstone, or oven -- but he can borrow a shirt,
a ring, a cloak, or earrings. The g'mara then raises other cases:
what about riding his neighbor's horse in order to go to a banquet? But
the g'mara does not here broaden the scope to such indirect benefits. (32b)
