Rant: Non-Complimentary Airport Wifi?

Post by JackofDiamonds »

Come on O'Hare. Boingo? You're going to make me walk to the Admirals Club because I refuse to pay $7.99 for 45 minutes of internets.

Welcome to Chicago/Illinois.

I've always thought that about the tolls that people hit as soon as they cross the border from Wisconsin or Indiana. "Welcome to Illinois. Please pay $3.60 to drive on our roads. Oh, and in about 20 miles, please pay another $3.60. Then, when you get off the highway, please pay another $1.80 and you must have exact change for this one or be subject to fines and penalties. We hope you enjoy your stay!"

[expletive] this place.

Yep. I once paid nearly as much in tolls to drive under 10 miles in Illinois as I did to cross most of the state of Ohio, exclusively on a toll road.

I drove through Chicago last week and in one of the $0.60 toll baskets were $2 in ones.

VICTORY.
