Couple regrets being good neighbors after elderly man’s entitled son-in-law expects his kids can use their Wi-Fi for free: 'I don't even know his name'

If you grew up in a big family, you know the struggle of battling for decent Wi-Fi. Your brother's screaming into his headset while playing video games, your sister's glued to her phone scrolling social media, your dad's up late working from his laptop, and you're desperately trying to stream your favorite show without it buffering every two seconds. It's enough to make you want to launch the router out the window.

But as frustrating as slow Wi-Fi can be, what's worse is someone trying to mooch off your connection entirely, like the guy in this story. A young couple lives in an apartment complex and were nothing but kind to their upstairs elderly neighbor. They would help him with groceries, share plates of leftovers, you know, the whole neighborly deal. But when the old man's family moved in, his son-in-law decided he could take advantage of the couple's kindness.
