Fact. As such, an accountant lugs around their smartphone, laptop, and iPod everywhere. Using free Wi-Fi allows them to check <a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Stuff-Accountants-Like\/154111266489\" target=\"_self\">Facebook<\/a>, Perez Hilton, and e-mail (if time allows).<\/p>\n<p>Free wi-fi can come from many sources. Reputable sources include coffee shops, sandwich places, and bookstores. Less credible Wi-Fi hotspots include hotel networks, unsecured office Wi-Fi, or an apartment neighbor&#8217;s router. As long as accountants are able to get a connection, they are not picky.<\/p>\n<p>Typical company guidelines forbid connecting to these unsecure connections. This makes sense as working on and sharing confidential documents over a risky network can ruin everything. The reason accountants ignore company policy is for the same reason that laptop locks are never used. It&#8217;s inconvenient and besides nothing bad will ever happen to them.<\/p>\n<p>Accountants also tend to have a college student mentality guiding their decisions. If it works and it&#8217;s free, so much the better. This also fits in well with company provided alcohol and <a title=\"office perks\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stuffaccountantslike.com\/?p=341\" target=\"_self\">office perks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Accountants will always appreciate free Wi-Fi. There is no known instance in history (unrecorded or recorded) where an accountant turned down free internet &#8211; whether to check Facebook or Outlook. So you can imagine how persistent accountants get locating free Wi-Fi. Even if their battery was dying in an airport terminal, an accountant would try the aptly titled &#8220;FRee W1r3less N0w&#8221; and all ten other networks within range.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get rid of an accountant, just tell them that they can get a better Wi-Fi signal in the room to the right of the elevator that&#8217;s next to the snack room. If the Wi-Fi doesn&#8217;t pan out, they&#8217;ll be busy working on the pantry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While accountants have money, they didn&#8217;t get this way by paying $10 for Wi-Fi.
