Neighbors Tale Of How His Kindness Was Exploited By Person He Least Expected
We encounter new people every day—whether it’s at work, on the bus, or in other everyday situations. Unfortunately, some individuals have hidden agendas and take advantage of circumstances, often displaying a haughty demeanor. They do all this with a seemingly innocent face, acting as if it’s perfectly acceptable.
The Story:
I bumped into my elderly neighbor by the entrance of our building. She asked me to check her computer because she couldn’t access any websites. Upon inspecting it, I noticed that the Wi-Fi signal icon showed no connection. Just three days earlier, I had replaced my router and updated the password. It suddenly clicked—I remembered that 8 years ago, she had asked for my help when she couldn’t reach her son in China due to lack of internet. I had installed Skype for her and connected her to my Wi-Fi, but I had forgotten to disconnect her after that. I told her that she had been using my internet all this time.
“What should I do now?” she asked.
“Get your own internet. It costs about $4 a month. I think it’s affordable for you,” I replied.
She responded:
“Just set it up like it was before. You have internet. Why not share it?”
Naturally, I declined. She never thanked me for using my internet for all those years, and now, she doesn’t even greet me anymore. But despite it all, I still choose to trust people.
