I got absolutely furious when my mom was telling me about one of her coworkers at her pharmacy asking for our family's HBO GO password.

This person had recently cut the cord on cable and was already using someone else's Netflix password. Then, she gives my mom a HARD SELL about how "it totally costs nothing at all to give it out!" and "even HBO wants you to share passwords!" (sure, an exec said something like that, but only in terms of increasing viewership so that the freeloaders would eventually actually subscribe).

My mom is 62 years old and not tech savvy, so this 20-something technician was totally taking advantage of her -- and my mom is known as the darling/sweetheart of the pharmacy.

After I told my mom how HBO limits devices, and the fact that my mom, my brother, and I live in three totally different cities/area codes, HBO would definitely be on our ass, especially since this woman logs onto Netflix at work during lunch, meaning she also logs on at home -- meaning an extra 2 IPs at the very least. Then, when I told my mom to tell her the truth that we were maxed out, she started spreading rumors about my mom being "selfish" for not sharing the "free HBO GO password," even though my mom considers this person probably in the bottom 25% of coworkers she knows.

It wasn't very long that a whole bunch of coworkers told her off and took my moms side and yelled at her for acting entitled.

I LOATHE PEOPLE WHO ACT LIKE THEYRE ENTITLED TO PASSWORDS TO PREMIUM CONTENT JUST BECAUSE THEYRE "FREE"

TL;DR -- Mom's coworker cut her cable to save money, now uses another coworker's Netflix password. Then, she begged my mom for our HBO GO password, even trying to mislead my non-tech-savvy mom that "it's totally free!" When I convinced my mom just to tell her that we "maxed out the number of devices" she started spreading rumors that my mom was selfish, but everyone knows my mom and they all criticized the young worker for acting entitled.
