How did they know I'd be on the SDMB?

A coffee shop near my house recently started distributing a one-time throwaway login for WiFi access. The username and password and usually four random characters each. However, a few days ago, it seemed like they knew I’d be visiting the Straight Dope Message Board.

Cite?

Oh wait… :stuck_out_tongue:

Apparently, they also expect you to be unhappy about it.

I usually get four random letters and/or numbers something like “g29x”. So, the odds of getting “cite” are 36x36x36x36, or 1 in 1,679,616.

I’d be vewy vewy afwaid. :eek:

Hope you bought a lottery ticket and stayed out of the storm.

Sometimes life is just too funny.
