It is best to tell Networkmanager not to automatically associate with
ANY wifi access point. However,as far as I can tell, NetworkManager will
connect to anything in range that you connected to before at some point
and you can't say no.  This is a feature most would call a "bug" except
for the idiot devs.

You can disable auto-connection per SSID for those NM has memorized/used
before via the applet (or CLI utilities). You can also delete old/stale
SSIDs that are no longer needed.
