Entitled man hounds neighbor to share his Wi-Fi with him, calls in a noise complaint when he refuses: 'Sharing your wifi is part of being good neighbors'

Would you share your Wi-Fi with your neighbor?

I find that in this life, it's best not to keep score. If you want to continue having healthy, non-transactional relationships, then you probably want to just let things go and assume that with good faith, it will all even out in the end. It saves you the headache of being miffed at every turn. There is, of course, a limit to this kind of attitude. You might not keep score with the people who are closest to you, but you might with your pesky neighbor. If they're not in the habit of doing any favors for you, then you might not feel like rolling out the red carpet for them. You might even want to keep your distance if they're a certain kind of entitled. Because as the book goes, you give a mouse a cookie… and you know the rest. 

But if sharing Wi-Fi, where do you draw the line? It can be a difficult thing to keep to yourself if you have given out the password. It's also an easy thing to share. But if you're paying for it, then it's your right to use it as you wish. You might not feel like having to loan it out to everyone who asks. You also definitely don't want to be relied on to do this. Because once people start relying on you, then they might expect more and more. You would hate to end up in a place where you're taking care of someone you didn't mean to start taking care of.
