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?

How did they know it was yours? If any one of them was downloading kiddie **** or any other illegal online activity, you'd go to jail for it!

Top it off by changing the SSID to #GetUrOwnWiFi to justify those dirty looks then...

Better now than another two years? but the fact you thought putting a password on it shows that you knew other people must've been using it and that's why it was slow?

"Yes, the new password is "Penny-Get-Your-Own-Wifi" no spaces."

And it's not like they mistakenly thought it was free building wifi, because they knew exactly where to go to complain about it. I say change your network name to 'not free wifi.'

Seriously? Any Wi-Fi router sold in the past 5 years forces you to use security. This means that you deliberately made your Wi-Fi unsecured. You're lucky some creep didn't use your Wi-Fi to download child ****.

That's not always true, if he had just bought the router it may have not come protected

Maybe the router wasn't purchased on the last 5 years. Mine wasn't.

So you left your Wi-Fi without a password and were surprised to find out other people were using it? Yeah, you deserved it.
