    Clueless Woman Calls Tech Show When Her Stolen Wi-Fi Disappears [VIDEO]

    Yeah, everyone has stolen Wi-Fi at one point or another, but not everyone has called into a tech show in order to complain about the fact that someone put the kibosh on said stealing.

    Meet Jennifer, she had been unwittingly yoinking Wi-Fi for more than a year and a half when the gravy train ran out, after which she called into Leo Laporte’s Tech Guy radio show in a state of utter confusion.

    After hitting YouTube (YouTube) this weekend — the show aired on Saturday — the video depicting Laporte interviewing the confused woman has gone viral, racking up 122,661 views at the time of this post.

    Maybe it’s Jennifer’s innocent confusion (“Yeah, well they should bring that cost down”), maybe it’s Laporte’s gentle/yet amused explanation that she was, in fact, putting her Internet privacy at risk while simultaneously breaking the law (“So you have — silly question, but I’m gonna ask it anyway — you have a wireless access point to begin with?”), but something about this vid is striking a chord with Internet denizens.

    Have you ever stolen Wi-FI?

    Stolen internet access only for a day when I moved into my apartment back in college. That's about it.

    I live in a neighborhood with three or four sorority houses. My house sits directly adjacent to two of these sorority houses. I named my wireless router "No Fat Chicks." I snicker every time I think about it...
