House guest sneakily adding your wifi to their phone is rude yes?

[HDDD]

I mean, I don't mind any guest accessing my wifi BUT at least ask right?

Don't tell me they also got a cheeky glass of water from the outside tap and craftily absorbed heat from the radiators without permission?

Shocking behaviour.“

Isn’t it? Probably didn’t come equipped with lavatory paper, either.

Do you have it stuck on a sticker on your router? Then it's ok imo. Do your guests have to ask if they can use your plug sockets?

I think the OP is not coming back for some inexplicable reason. 😉

I don't think it's at all rude. Wifi is a pretty basic facility nowadays.

I would expect someone to ask, but if you're the kind of person who would create a thread to ask this question then it probably wasn't worth the hassle...

I'm saying YANBU on the basis that you say it was sneakily done, which implies you didn't give the password but the guest found the router and perhaps got the password off the back of the little key code thingy?

If this is the case I think it's really cheeky. I would always ask if this was OK first!

May I flush the toilet, please, OP?

I know, the cheek!

I heard they also breathed the OP's air! Can you imagine?

A guest...surely they should know their place?

You know what I find rude? Adding 'yes' or 'no' on to the end of questions. You aren't a law graduate in Jackson Alabama.

No loo roll to be used though.

@girlmom21

Imagine being upset about this on the day the government are launching a scheme for people to give refugees a home for 6 months...

OP please don't volunteer for the scheme.

🙄 Not relevant really is it

I offer anyone who comes to our house as a guest our WiFi code/password. In fact it's pinned up in the kitchen now as I got fed up of the teen DC constantly asking for it for their friends

Was it on purpose ? I've been given the wifi at a friends house in the past then when I visit again my phone automatically recognises it and logs on :)
Winning ! 🤣

Mooching through drawers to find the password: rude. Connecting to wifi that is there: totally normal and not rude.

Yup - this, hence 'sneakily'. Maybe I'm aghast that a grown adult can't live for an evening without their phone, and maybe have I don't know, a conversation.

It wouldn't bother me. Ours is password protected, but the router box has a little plastic card sticking out at the back with the password on it. I would be fine with a guest just figuring that out and using it. In fact I'd be a bit embarrassed that I hadn't just given them the password to begin with.

@sparepantsandtoothbrush well it is really relevant isn't it. She won't even share her bloody WiFi code...

QuillBill

I really wouldn’t care at all

I really couldn’t care less about this.

It's normal these days OP

No it's not relevant. People are allowed to be pissed off about things without constant comparisons to the Ukrainian situation

I think it might be rude not to ahve given them the wifi password in the first place?

Well that's a completely different complaint.

You should have clearly stipulated in the list of house rules what was and wasn't up for grabs!

YABU. Getting it off the router is not “sneaky”, it’s just normal.

You sound like a bad host.
