Today, after having my Wi-Fi unlocked for two years, I decided to lock it since it was running slowly. Everybody in my apartment building came to my door and asked me why I did it. I've been unknowingly providing free Wi-Fi to the entire building for years, but now that it's protected I'm getting constant dirty looks. FML

Today, my roommates keep opening my bedroom door to "let the WiFi out." FML
Today, I renamed my home Wi-Fi to “PleaseTalkToMeSarah” to hint to my crush/neighbour. Later, I realized the whole apartment building could see it, and had worked out who it belonged to. Now strangers keep asking if Sarah had talked to me yet. She hasn’t. FML
Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML
Today, I was at the library doing research for my midterm. All of the computers were in use, so I decided to use my laptop instead. Ten minutes later, I was confronted and kicked out. My offense? Unauthorized use of the library's so-called "Free Public WiFi". FML
Today, my dad got a warning from our ISP for going well over their fair usage limit. I barely use our wifi, and I keep telling him he should password-protect our router to stop people leeching our Internet. He's blaming me anyway, and says I'm grounded until January. FML
Today, my sister accused me of hacking into her phone because I helped her connect to a WiFi network a while ago, and she'd completely forgotten about it. I only found that out when my mom accidentally leaked it to me. FML
Today, my manager asked me for the password to my Internet so she could Skype family since she can't pay her bill. This is the same woman who just a week ago tried to evict me because my rent was an hour late. Trying to be the bigger person, I gave her the password. She changed my password. FML
Today, I told my son if he wanted the new internet password he had to clean his room. I then caught him disconnecting my laptop from the internet. Turns out he changed the password months ago and now if I want the new password he wants £50. I ended up paying. I'm actually proud of the sneaky sod. FML
Today, my boss said he's worried about our network, because, "Wi-Fi’s all in the air. People could spy on us from anywhere!" I sarcastically said, "My god, you're right!" and suggested switching to tin-foil Ethernet cables to stop the signal escaping. He told me to do it ASAP. This moron makes five times my salary. FML
Today, I met my new neighbor. His wi-fi access point is named "TheRapistDownstairs." FML

Fun fact: that's technically illegal. To look more like an asshole, call the cops on everyone!

Unlocked means password free. Did you not think people weren't going to treat you like a Starbucks?

It"s illegal to use someone's wifi without permission
ASLGabby 9
True, but it's rarely enforced

I'm more worried that he might have had a data cap on it, because they'll charge for the extra data.

Because that's really going to stop people.

Its only illegal if its not password protected. Little thing called assumption of risk.

Tell them to get their own damn WiFi. You have absolutely no obligation to provide anyone with something that you pay for yourself.

Seriously you don't deserve their hate but you're still a complete moron

Profit off this! Find a guest WiFi provider and charge them for the privilege!

Tell them all to go **** themselves! The whole lot of them are nothing but a bunch of freeloading bastards and you don't owe them a thing. If anything they should be thanking you for the two years worth of free internet.

Did you honestly expect that no one else would use it if you didn't put a password on it? YDI. Also, having it unprotected opens you up to viruses, getting hacked, getting your identity stolen.

Where I am, if it is not password protected, it is not illegal to use it. As long as you are not "hacking into it", if it is open, it is free. People that leave it open here usually do it for people to bum off of. I am surprised you did not password protect it and are surprised people did use it.

In a place where people drive around neighborhoods looking for password free WiFi, I am not surprised at all that they were using it. Tell them to go to Burger King or anyone of the dozens of places that now offer free WiFi and to leave you alone. If they persist, get restraining orders or at least report them for harassment.

Your life sucks for the way you've been treated. You deserve it for not knowing any better. But, since they're being such scumbags, send every man woman and child a bill for $600: $25 per month x 24 months. Send them a note that you will seek civil penalties and possible criminal penalties if they fail to comply. If they don't like it, tell them "This isn't Obama time anymore. This is Trump time now!

this is the dumbest shit I've ever read

Their life doesn't suck for the way they're being treated - they deserve it for being an idiot and not protecting their WiFi. However, They should bill or sue them. They should not say anything about Trump because he is a fool whose is already ruining our country and he hasn't even been in office for a month yet.

because trump is doing such a great job right ?

Their life doesn't suck for the way they're being treated. They deserve it for not locking their WiFi - did they honestly expect no one to use their WiFi it they're not going to protect it? They should definitely bill them for using it, though. Also, Trump isn't a good idea to bring up or anything. He hasn't even been President for a month and already he's ruining our country.

Sorry for the multiple posts about this comment. It kept telling me it posted and then it disappeared. This update sucks. How did FML coders **** it up so much/so bad? It even sucks on the website. I honestly don't even know why they messed with it - there was nothing wrong with the app or website.

I wonder if you understand that Obama had nothing to do with this guys wifi having no password.
