We've all known someone who came across as super entitled. Maybe it was a family member who hogged the TV remote, a friend who expected others to cover their coffee dates, or an acquaintance who thought they could use someone's work discount shortly after meeting them.
Or how about a neighbor who steals someone else's Wi-Fi without ever offering to cover the expenses?
One man on X (formerly Twitter) had a Wi-Fi plan that worked for him, but he found that his internet speed was slower than he liked. To speed things up, he added a password to prevent outside use of his signal and to increase its performance.
As it turned out, the man's Wi-Fi had been running slower than the speed he was paying for because one of his neighbors was frequently using it.
Absurdly, the man discovered this because his neighbor had the audacity to come up to his front door and start making demands.
The neighbor said:
"I live next door. I've got problems with the Wi-Fi. You've put a password on it."
"I've lived here two years. I've happily used the Wi-Fi, and now I see that you've put a password on it, and I can't use it."
"I'll tell you what, you let me have your password, and that's the end of the problem."
You can watch the full video with the rest of the neighbor's logic here:
Some were left spiraling with frustration from the neighbor's lack of awareness.
If my neighbour was struggling with paying their bills & asked if they could use my wifi, absolutely.
But this guy stormed over, told them he’d been “happily using it” for free for two years without permission and demanded the password.
What an entitled and rude man he is.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who feels this entitled.

Best part is that this guy is so certain that he's making perfect, logical sense. He's so sure that he's the one being reasonable. 🤣

The man thinks wifi is like air-conditioning, if it leaves the confines of your house it for everyone to enjoy lol

Others agreed and couldn't believe how patient the Wi-Fi owner was.
This is one of those occasional conversations you're forced into when the other person is so stupid or so obtuse about understanding a basic concept that you're actually at a loss for words.

If I was the wi-fi owner that conversation would have been over in about 30 seconds 😂

I've got an idea, why don't I cancel my Wi-Fi and you purchase it and then we can both share it.

The WiFi owner is the most patient person ever

This conversation went on about 3 and a half minutes longer than if it was my house! Here's a 3rd option, you sign up for wifi and I'll use yours for free for the next 2 years.

As frustrating as all of this was, some viewers couldn't help but laugh at the man's "logic."
“You can sit in your garden and use it then, I don’t mind “- says the guy pirating the WiFi 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"If you just give me your password..."😂😂😂
Totally reasonable...😁

“You’re being unreasonable.” 🤣

The funniest conversation I have seen on this platform 😂😂😂😂

I think I enjoyed this a little too much! 😂

Even though he'd been enjoying the benefits of a Wi-Fi signal near his home, it was obvious that the neighbor didn't really understand how it works and why this was such an offensive demand to make of his neighbor.
While doing some research about how Wi-Fi works, though, the man should definitely review the definition of "entitlement."
