A bizarre interaction has been shared online after an elderly man blasted his neighbour for putting a password on his WiFi that he had been using for free over several years.
The clip shows the man knocking on his neighbour’s door before asking to “share his password.”
A user on Reddit posted the video of the two when one neighbour admits to using the other’s WiFi without any permission.

The neighbour then asks the man why he is standing at his door.
The man replies: “Well, it is your Wi-Fi. Is it?” to which the neighbour says: “Okay but I don’t have a problem with my Wi-Fi.”
The man added: “Well I have got a problem with your Wi-Fi. You have put a password on it. I have been here for two years. I have happily used the Wi-Fi and now I see that you have put a password on it and I can’t use it. I think you are being unreasonable.
“It’s very simple. You have WiFi, right? I have been happily using your WiFi for a couple of years and all of a sudden you put a password to it. I have got no access. I’ll tell you what you let me have your password. That’s the end of the problem.”

The neighbour then blasted: “Yeah but hold a minute. You have been using my WiFi? Now you can’t because I have a password on it. The thing is that I am paying for the WiFi.
“I have put a password to it because my WiFi has been really slow and my broadband suggested me to put a password on it.”
The man then added that he should share his password because it’s “neighbourly behaviour.”
“I don’t know how much of your wifi it is, but I mean you know it’s a signal. The signal doesn’t remain within your four walls, so what comes out here is on public property, right?” he said.

UNSPLASH
“So there are two things we can do. One is and I think the easiest thing is let me have your password or you can always remove your password. I mean it’s pretty easy. I think that’s very unreasonable.
“Well if you want to use your wifi, you can sit in the garden and use it. You can tell me when you have work so that it doesn’t impact the speed of the network.”
After being posted online, one user wrote: “It’s probably real. We had a very similar situation. We changed the password and within 10 minutes our neighbor was knocking on the door complaining. Not a joke.”
Another said: “I moved into a new apartment building about a year ago and I had the person below me come up knock on my door and offered me a cake to permanently use my wifi, apparently the people that used to live in my apartment let them use their wifi.
“The cake looked good but I laughed and said sorry no thank you. lol.”
