    Yeah but I was in a real small town. There was only one house that was close enough to try and take advantage so I just knocked on the door and said “If you wanna use the wifi you’re chipping in for the internet”. Dude shrugged and said “Cheaper than getting my own”. Ended up giving me $20 a month until he moved.

        They happen with almost alarm regularity in small towns and given that’s where I grew up and spent a huge chunk of my teen years, I’ve got a lot of weird ass stories. Made only more bizarre by being from an Island with it’s own aggressively specific/unique culture.
