Dad and I decided to get out of the house to work on our separate... well... work. We packed our laptops up then headed out to a coffee shop because we thought the best wifi was at a coffee shop. And so did everyone else in the county. The first coffee shop we headed to was too crowded to even sit down. The second was even more crowded. The third, we couldn't even get a parking spot! We were about to give up, but we tried one more: Panera. It was crowded, but we went in anyway thinking our luck would change. And sure enough, a spot opened right up. Grateful, we set up and got snacks, but when I started using the wifi, I noticed it was a bit... slow. Dad noticed this too, being the first to raise the topic. We decided to put up with it and just keep working.
But I can't help but wonder why exactly this wifi was so slow? Were so many people using it that it was slowing down? Or was it just getting so old that it started to run slower? I don't know, but either way, I wasn't happy. Especially when i tried to watch the current series I've been watching, Clone High, on YouTube. Every time I tried to watch the video, it did that weird spinny wheel thing for 5 minutes, then said, "An error occurred. Please wait a minute, then try again." Which to me basically was, "Your internet sucks, so I'm going to throw a tantrum and not play your video until it gets better." Either way, it's a big middle finger from whoever made this wifi so damn crappy.
Very interesting. How were the snacks? LOL
