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

Glad you're shot of this person OP

Good for you op. You are well rid of the cheeky cow. You don't need people like her in your life.

Well done, OP. She showed her true colours, didn't she?

Wow, what a horrible cow. You're well rid there.

I’m a freelancer and have three friends where my phone and laptop automatically connect to their WiFi now. BUT this is because one also freelances, and we often have working afternoons as we find these help us both to get inspired, and the other two live a distance away so when they invite me to visit I stay for the day (at their insistence) and often need to do an hour or so of work. Difference is, they have given permission for this (and I have my own WiFi at home anyway) this woman is weird.

Just read the thread and so happy for you, OP. You absolutely did the right thing by confronting your toxic friend

Please keep us updated if she tries to contact you.
