Free Internet!
Wherein The Gord welcomes the oppressors.
So at the store, the Gord has an eight port hub set up and extra LAN cables so that his friends can bring their computers down (portable or not) and plug into his computer network for playing games, cruising the web, whatever. It’s just LAN craziness action.
One day, this guy who had been in the store all of once before shows up and starts bringing in his computer.
“What are you doing?”
“Hooking my computer up to the network.”
“Who are you, and why are you doing that?”
“I heard that you can play on the internet for free here if you bring your computer down.”
“Technically, that policy is only for friends of mine.”
“So?”
“The internet here is reserved for my friends. You are not part of that group. As such, you’re not invited.”
“Oh. Well, you don’t treat your customers very good.”
“You’re not a customer.”
“I’m leaving.”
