My neighbor seemed to be throwing the biggest party of the month — bursts of laughter, loud chatter, and heavy bass spilling well into the night.
Just as I reached for my headphones to block it out, there was an unpredicted knock at my door. Standing there was my neighbor, smiling politely, but with a request I didn’t see coming: she asked if I could share my Wi-Fi password so her guests could connect.
For a moment, I froze. Handing out my internet details felt too personal, and I’d always been careful about protecting my network. So, after taking a breath, I gently told her I wasn’t comfortable sharing it.
