Guy steals neighbor's WiFi for months, neighbor gets even by changing the display name after him: 'How could they possibly know that was me?'

Let's get this out of the way first: WiFi should be free. It's one of those fundamental services that everyone needs in order to connect with the world, no matter how old you are. At this point, it's not a luxury; it's a need. Perhaps there are still some dinosaurs out there who don't fully understand that the vast majority of individuals cannot pay their bills, do their jobs, complete their work, or keep in touch with family without a functional WiFi connection.

This, of course, is why when those connections suddenly fail out of nowhere, panic mode settles in. This is especially true when you're in the middle of something important, such as a meeting, an interview, or a class. When this happened to the author of this story in the middle of an important presentation, he impulsively connected to a neighbor's account that wasn't password protected. This would eventually backfire in surprising ways…

The best part about this story is that the pranks were amusing and all in jest. The neighbor figured out that someone was using his WiFi and managed to clap back by changing the display name to spook the author. The author, in turn, acknowledged the situation by gifting all his neighbors free coffee with the hopes that the culprit would reveal himself!
