Unless you're part of the lucky few who have never had to deal with entitled neighbors, you know how it is when moving into a new neighborhood. You are sitting on the floor of your new home, remembering the reason you left your last living arrangement in the first place. You wonder about what can go wrong this time, and what uncomfortable circumstances might possibly be in your near future. Though you have a good feeling about this new chapter, there is always the likelihood of a bad neighbor waiting to tear you down or take advantage of your kindness.
I know, I know. Life should not be riddled with constant worrying and negative anticipation. You simply never know. That's what's difficult about living in close quarters with others: the person you share a wall with can be waiting for the right time to mooch off of what you pay for. The person in this story is dealing with that exact issue.
Not even a month into moving into their new apartment, the original poster (OP) gets a knock on their door. Their neighbor, whom they share a wall with, is at their front entrance. Thinking that the neighbor is coming to introduce herself, OP opens the door and gathers their daughter to introduce herself, too. In the same breath as her introduction, the neighbor asks for OP's Wi-fi password. Strange. OP does not want to assume their neighbor's financial situation, so they gave her the network password, intending to boot her off of it in a week or two.
OP's internet soon becomes unavoidably spotty, so after about two weeks, they decide to check how much usage occurred. The neighbor used a whopping 300 GB of data. OP has since then cut the neighbor's access to their internet, but is fearful that they'll have to face the neighbor's entitlement once more. Scroll to read the entire story, including advice from folks who are advising OP to be unapologetic about where they stand.
