friend using me for wifi.

106 replies

choccywokkydoodah · 13/09/2018 07:38

my friend recently popped in for a visit and asked if she could hook up to my wifi as she had been cut off due to not paying her bill and she really needed to do something online. No problem i said. not she has started "visiting" me everyday sometimes twice a day and just sitting on her phone hookdd up to my wifi doin whatever she is doing. I cant help but feel used as she hardly speaks during these visits just sits doing her online business. I dont want to be a bitch and confront her about it but at the same time i dont want to get used as a free wifi provider. Last night i swiched my modem off when i saw her arrive. seconds into her visit she asks what has happened and if my wifi password had changed i acted as if i dont know how to work it when her 11 year old pops up wih oh its been turned off then promptly turned it on and hooked on to check her facebook. It is really starting to annoy the life out me. suggestion what to do would be great TIA. xx

She's a fucking cow! Good for you! Do NOT let her back in your life at all now, ever. Take her off all your social media and block her arse on your phone and email accounts. Just have FA to do with her from now on.

Cheeky , she's probably been using your Wi-Fi sitting in her car. She can go to any number of cafe or wi fi spaces to use it and calling her b.f. Is hardly your problem.

Tight bitch should have paid her bill, then she wouldnt have a problem. If she wants to call her boyfriend, should could find a payphone.

Spacezombies · 13/09/2018 20:04

She properly just proved to you that she was only there for the wi-if.

If she’d been honest with you and said “look, I’m having some cash flow troubles so would you mine be using your wi-if once or twice a day to make calls. I won’t bother you; will just sit outside in the car. It would really help me out and I’m sorry for any inconvenience” then it would have been totally different. But she didn’t. She repeatedly interrupted your day with impromptu visits, in which she ignored you to use her phone. It takes time out of your day and makes you feel like you’re only worth what you can give her. She should have done it openly and honestly, rather than being underhand and rude.

If I were you, I’d send her a text saying something like that and tell her you’d rather not have a friend who will treat you that way.

No she isn’t holey, the passwords been changed. That’s the whole point!

How you feeling choccy? Don’t let her make you doubt yourself. You’re well rid.

LeftRightCentre · 13/09/2018 20:06

She has a reputation of being very mouthy and is one of the types who pride themselves on being straight to the point and taking no shit from nobody type....

She's a low-rent fishwife who thinks she's entitled to whatever she pleases off others. Bullying twat.

therealimposter · 13/09/2018 20:07

Next time you know she's likely to come round put a print out of directions to the nearest internet cafe on your door and then don't answer when she knocks.

LeftRightCentre · 13/09/2018 20:09

Good on you, choccy.

QueenOfCatan · 13/09/2018 20:10

lonicera if you were asking me about the Password: it bypasses needing a password, that's the point of it. As long as you are sitting with the box and press the button at the right time (when prompted to by your device) it'll work.

Well done op! Good on you for standing up for yourself, not easy when you aren't usually one to do so!

HoleyCoMoley · 13/09/2018 20:12

I mean she could have been using it in the car, sorry if I wasn't clear.

HoleyCoMoley i think she had been trying to use it in the car when i daughter saw her when she was coming home from work. I think thats why she has came in because she not been getting online from the car.

HoleyCoMoley If she had have went about it like that it wouldn't be a problem i would have just left her to it. It was the blatent cheek that was eating me up. Ithjnk she knew what i had done when she came to the door tonight coz her daughter went kver to where the hub thing sit and looked at it the second she came in and gave the mother eyecontact as if to say its on...

Not speaking bad about her 11 year old but she has got her the same way as herself. x

You know she was sat in her car trying to get online. And to use that sort of language in front of her kids! What a nasty piece of work.

mummmy2017 · 13/09/2018 20:27

I bet your using BT..
Look up how to use the hub, you can block her phone, tablet and her child's.
This is easy to do, and you can then just shrug and say you don't know why hers won't work as she won't think you know how to do this...

ursuslemonade · 13/09/2018 20:30

She has no shame.
Well done you Wink
You should be really proud of yourself, she is a cunt.Flowers

stressedoutpa · 13/09/2018 20:35

Well done, Op.

With any luck she won't come back. User.....

NonaGrey · 13/09/2018 20:37

She threw a tantrum because she couldn’t call her boyfriend? Is she 14?

You are well rid of her OP. Being nice doesn’t mean being a doormat.

Angie169 · 13/09/2018 21:08

Well done OP it is hard to stand up for yourself when you are not use to it but it sounds like did a great job .
she is a CF of the high order.
hopfully she will never darken your door ( or wifi ) ever again.

On the plus side of this you have learnt that you can stand up to people , use this lesson more in your life and stand up to other CFs .

Haireverywhere · 13/09/2018 22:43

Well done OP!

Fluffyears · 14/09/2018 08:36

Yes, you pay for so-go for your own use not any tom, dick or harry. If the call is that important her boyfriend can cough up angle call her. Block her and if she ever darkens your door again remind her she called you a cow simply for not letting her freeload. You are well rid.

9amtrain · 14/09/2018 08:51

Good on you! The cheeky entitled megacunt from hell.

wizzywig · 14/09/2018 08:56
