‘My new neighbour stopped speaking to me after I turned down her wild demand’

Moving home is already a stressful enough experience but new neighbours making demands or causing difficulties can really exacerbate the tension and hassle so commonly associated with the process

A man was stunned after moving into a new home and being immediately confronted by his new neighbour who made a wild and “entitled” demand of him. Moving is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. Whether you’re buying or renting, it’s an arduous and daunting situation that can, at times, feel like a mental endurance test.

There’s a seemingly endless array of paperwork and ID checks to provide; there’s the disruption to the general norm of your daily routine; financial ramifications and demands; and much more. Then, there’s the time consuming annoyance of packing and unpacking to factor in.

One man moved into a new property around a month ago and promptly “unpacked, got comfortable” and “settled in”. A little later, after starting to feel comfortable in his new home, his neighbour came knocking on the door with a command.

On Reddit’s popular ‘entitled people’ forum, the man’s friend shared his story and explained: “She didn’t ask. She demanded he give her the Wi-Fi password.

“Explained that she had used the previous tenant’s Wi-Fi, who had no password protection and now expected to use his.”

It seems the woman was unimpressed she no longer had access to free WiFi and felt the man owed her his password so she could use it.

His friend continued: “If she had just asked nicely, my friend might have agreed. But not like that. He declined.”

Not happy with being turned down and not getting her own way, the woman then “complained to housing management” where she demanded “they compel him to let her use his Wi-Fi”.

Understandably, the management team “declined and then informed” the man of his neighbour’s antics. Since then, the neighbour “hasn’t spoken to him”.

In the comments section, people were keen to share their thoughts. One person quipped: “She doesn’t get his password and doesn’t talk to him… that’s really a win-win for him”.

Another said: “I guess she learnt that ‘No.’ is a complete sentence”, while a third commented: “Internet doesn’t come for free. Either offer to pay or get your own lady. Sounds like a good thing she doesn’t talk to him”.

Someone else cautioned: “Never, ever let someone else use your wifi, even if you’re planning to goof on them. If they start surfing for contraband material, guess whose door the police are going to kick in first? It’s monumentally stupid.”

Another agreed and added: “There are a million things that people can do on your IP that are highly illegal and you then have to prove it was someone else.

“And in the meantime, it’s assumed you were the one being a creeper. Nope. She can get her own.”
