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?

Its also time for you to get protected, just not by a password

Ask each person for $20... You'll have a slightly slower connection but you'll MAKE money on your wifi bill!

I really wonder how people knew it was your Wi-Fi. Did you go out of your way to make it to something identifiable but still deliberately not put a password? If so, that's a huge "Please get me in trouble!" sign!

They probably pulled up the thing and set the name to like "Op's wifi" or something and then when prompted to set a password clicked no because at the time, they weren't really aware of it being a problem. Then two years later they realised that wow their internet is slow maybe something is going on and someone id using it. So they thought about ot (or called the conpany to ask) and refound the settings and put one on

Really, YDI, since you should have password protected the WiFi password when you actually got it.

Penny: Hey, Sheldon, did you change your Wi-Fi password again? Sheldon: Yes, it's "Penny, get your own Wi-Fi." No spaces.

YDI. You're lucky no one else locked you out of it, just leaving it open like that. (Yes, people, that's possible. My dad did it to our neighbours as a joke before.) Then you'd have had to do a lot of work to get it back under your control again.
