I've found that sniffing (nearly always clear-text, but if you're
clever that's irrelevant) HTTP traffic and then walking downstairs
and outside to the user, when the content is sufficiently titillating,
is invariably amusing. Actually, those chuckles alone justify
leaving ones wifi open...

See also: I don't use other people's open wireless except tunneled
through SSH.
