The Naming of Parts (of your WiFi)
There’s an interesting and mildly amusing social phenomenon being reported in the print media this week; people are getting funny with their Wifi names.
I’ve just spent a spare half hour scraping the intertubes for those that tickled me most.
Some neighbours like to air their disputes:
FYI, I don’t read it, I throw it away
Stop Moving Furniture at Night
MyGardenIsNotYourCatsToilet
Caitlin stop using our Internet!
Nobody’s impressed by how loudly you sneeze
Quite a few are of the “hands off my WiFi ” type
Not free so get stuffed
Don’t use my WiFi
No Wi-Fi For You
Don’t Even think it
Sorry, you can’t use this
Nope, not this one either
Stop using our network, Steve
Hey You Kids, Get Off My LAN!
Only If You Help Me Pay For It
A few take the paranoia line:
International Terrorist Network
SOCA Surveillance Van
FBI Surveillance Van 7
Connect for identity theft
Iwatchyousleep
YOUR CAT WATCHES ME
I Ate Your Cat
Virus Vault open
We Can Hear You Having Sex
Ireadyouremail
it’s a trap
Some are informative:
2 cats 2 many
Look, Ma! No Wires!
Pretty Fly for a WiFi
Haha you have no internet connection!

My Neighbors Suck
Your Bathroom Shower Needs New Tiles

RedemptionOnlyThroughChrist

Some are very, very sweary
