Cheeky fuckers!!!

The girl next door just came around and asked about the internet. She offered to give me some money because her AND the guy upstairs have been using my connection and want to continue doing so!!!!

I politely told her to go away.

Oh my God

[hils.livejournal.com]

I know!!!

OMG rudeness!!!! What's the expression someone on my flist taught me?

Oh yeah! Get stuffed! That's what you should have told them!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I was just so stunned! I just told her that they were all slowing my connection down so no.

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

I hope you told her using your connection was theft and she could be prosecuted for doing that... I'm sure your provider would have something to say about that too :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

I would have done if I wasn't so stunned by her nerve. She openly admitted they've been using it since we moved in.

[myth-adventure.livejournal.com]

OMG that's unbelievable! And unbelievably stupid!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I know!!! She is clearly a dumbass

"Do I need a phoneline to get the internet?"

[acme54.livejournal.com]

Good grief!
Lock the new router down and change password every month!

[hils.livejournal.com]

It's locked down now, that's what prompted her visit.

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

OMG that's even worse!!!!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Urgh! I know. If I hadn't locked it they'd have just carried on using it without a word

[salymander.livejournal.com]

Was it not locked before? Just out of curiosity. Oh, I've had neihbors who actually came and asked if they could use my connection in the evenings for free. YES, they asked that. The guy was like, I need to be able to play this RPG online and I don't have the money for internet. Since I'm sure you don't use it at night, can I? I was like, um I use my internet constantly, so NO. People are SO rude.

[hils.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't locked before because I didn't know how to do it. It was only last night when I caught someone outside using it yesterday that I decided to take action. I bet she wouldn't have come over tonight if I hadn't just locked it.

[caersidi.livejournal.com]

You caught them outside? Were they lurking on their laptops outside your front door?

Crys and I have discussed this in terms of our own wireless connection. We have OAP ladies on both sides and don't think either is likely to be internet-savvy.

Of course, someone could park outside the house and use the connection though it would be a little suspicious. Maybe locking down the router would be a good idea after this cautionary tale.

There's like a seating area outside my bedroom window. There was a guy sat outside my room using his laptop. When he saw me he scurried away

My friend Greg caught someone in a van outside his place using a laptop so I'd advise anyone to password protect their connection

[salymander.livejournal.com]

lol dude, people are crazy

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they are. LOL!

[ceci2176.livejournal.com]

Some people are clearly insane.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I know!!! *shakes head* I still can't believe it

[ryo-girl.livejournal.com]

Did she actually think you were going to say yes???

[hils.livejournal.com]

Apparently!

*shakes head*

[jack4will.livejournal.com]

Very cheap of them and very stupid of them too. Wonder what else they are trying to get for free.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Who knows!

[spikewriter]

Oh, it's a good thing you've got it locked up.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I know!!! I still can't believe the nerve of her

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

If they want to continue maybe they should think about getting their own internet connection !!

[hils.livejournal.com]

That's what I told her to do. She doesn't even have a phoneline!

If I had to pay to get one then she bloody well should too

[hobbituk.livejournal.com]

This is my major concern about changing over to Sky as an ISP - they are all wireless. How did you lock it down, again?

[hils.livejournal.com]

Just log into the router and under the wireless settings it lets you set a password

[complicat]

Try sending her an invoice for the use of your internet connection for the last however many months. She sounds stupid enough that she might actually pay it!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! That's not a bad idea. LOL!

[beach-baby3000.livejournal.com]

OMG! What morons!
Good thing you locked it now.
Didn't you notice that it said someone else was using your network?
(On Linksys routers it has 1234 and when someone on 1 using it, it lights up, then 2 does the same.)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Nah, it doesn't tell you how many people are using it.

Ah well, it's fixed now and only me and Jacqui have the password.

[danaid-luv.livejournal.com]

*blinking* Good Lo*rd, that's incredible. I just read off this particular post to T because it was too good/horrible not to, hope that's okay. *eye-roll* I mean, DANG!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I know! I couldn't believe it when she just turned up like that
