Deceitful People Who Take Advantage of You While Acting Innocent

I ran into my elderly neighbor near the entrance of our building. She asked me to check her computer because she couldn’t open any websites. When I looked, I saw that the icon showed no signal to my Wi-Fi. Three days earlier, I had replaced my router and changed the password. I remembered that 8 years ago, she asked for my help because she couldn’t contact her son in China and didn’t have internet. I installed Skype for her and connected her to my Wi-Fi but forgot to disconnect it. I told her she had been using my internet all this time.

— What should I do now? she asked.
— Get your own internet. It’s about $4 a month. I think you can afford that.
She replied:
— Just set it up like it was before. You have internet. Why not share?

Of course, I said no. She didn’t thank me for using my internet for 8 years, and now she doesn’t say hello to me anymore. But I still choose to trust people.
