in thinking my neighbour should get her own wifi and buy her own effing lawnmower!

[serennu]

My neighbour really take the piss. She's just come round pen and paper in hand asking for my wifi password! Obviously i said no! but my god how can someone have the cheek haha!
In the past she's asked to borrow my lawn mower came back broken. Borrowed my garden shears came back broken. since then obviously not borrowed anything again. although she still asks, money, lifts etc and every time i say no. She's regularly jumping over my garden fence (which yep she has broken) in her onesie running around after her new kitten another neighbour called the police on her for jumping into their garden to get to the garden of her friend next door! which she still does
I don't use my garden anymore because I can guarantee she'll pop her head over the fence asking for something. I even find her son in my garden playing on our slide! she throws all her fag ends in my garden (I throw them back!) and has even thrown her child's old bike in my garden (I threw that back too!) someone tell me your neighbour is worse than mine!

My neighbour comes round with her phone to use my wifi. I don't mind. She's a single parent and very friendly and nice. But in your case I can see why you said no. There's no harm in sharing it a bit...you can't use it all up or anything!

Cheeky so and so!

you can't use it all up or anything er, you can if you have a set data allowance per month (as many people do).

Can't believe she asked for your password, how cheeky!

If you exceed your bandwidth, your supplier will increase how much you pay.

Oh right! Well....I don't think we have that and one girl paying a few bills on my wifi won't use it all up anyway. We live online here and we've never had an issue with useage.

I live fairly remotely. Three times this year I have caught people backed up in their cars onto the start of my drive trying to log on to my wifi

the brass neck of her!

Its not the data usage that would bother me, more what she could be downloading/uploading from my ip address.

Yep sure. It's F-U-C-K-O-F-F

Is she on benefits too?

By the way welcome to MN OP.

No one would stop me from using my garden.

She pops up you just tell her, 'No to everything. I won't loan you or give you anything. You need to jog on now.'

You need big, prickly hedges in your garden.

Will your goat not put her off?

Chipped that's an odd post!

I think it was an allusion to the Three Billy Goats Gruff ...

No, it's an allusion to benefit bashing threads.

Once a year, DH and I are tasked to go around our city with a easy set up checking for wifi and passwords. We don't try to access any but we do compile and publish a report every year to providers, police, local news, uni etc about unsecured wifi and the usage of default passwords. It beggars belief how many could easily be accessed by someone streaming, downloading or scouting of eg porn. The risk isn't worth it.

OP - I think you should go into your garden and use it. Mend the fence and stick some holly bushes on the other side, sweep her fag ends up and dump them on her side. You could even change your wifi name to BuyYourOwnWifiCheekyMare

Get some holly planted along the fence between yours and hers it grows really fast !!!

How cheeky!!!

It's only remotely fair if you offer to pay half each and have unlimited broadband so it doesn't matter how much you download...

Just coming over to ask for the password is utterly rude!!!

Change the name of your WiFi to something like ScroungingNeighboursCanPissOff!

If someone had changed their provider and had a gap in internet access, no problem. But not a good idea just to give out the password unless you change it within 24 hours after she's done what she wants to do online.

My neighbour is on probation after stabbing someone. He is currently walking around with all windows and doors open, hocking up phlegm. Since I have been at home sick all week, I've noticed he does this constantly.

I just refused to 'lend' my new neighbour 20p. I mean, who knocks on someone's door and asks for 20p?

You are legally responsible for how your broadband is used. That alone should stop you from allowing access to others.

your replies have had me laughing! I will consider changing my WiFi name another thing she does is she has her rugs hanging over my fence, she hoses them, leaves them to dry it rains they get wet and dirty, she hoses them. she's generally strange. and the rugs piss me off.
