    It crashed some devices when they scan for WiFi networks (both Linux’s network-manager and a Canon Printer at least)

  • When I was in college I lived in a off campus student housing area and they had the the most passive aggressive wifi names.

    “WeHearUJackOff”

    “StillHearUCryingWithShowerOn”

    “WhoCooksOnionsAt4AM”

    “PleaseTakeAShower”

    “UrDogGotTheShitsAgain”

    It wasn’t just one wifi. It was like three SSID’s all arguing to each other. They began responding to each other by changing their names also lol.

    • Panic at the Cisco

    I used to troll my roommate: I have a Multi-Band wireless access point, and I would name other networks stuff to mess with them. They are from Louisiana, and are very proud of their culinary roots. One day, they came back from a trip with the relatives, and brought home some boudin, which I cooked and served with rice. I thought it was sausage, but it’s a blend of pork cooked down with onions, peppers, seasonings, AND cooked rice, so serving it with rice was redundant, apparently. They got SO ANGRY, that to this day, I am not allowed to eat it in front of them, so I have been trolling them for “boudin with rice” everywhere I can. When they still lived with me, I changed the “ancillary network names” shit like, “Boudin with rice,” and “Mild crawfish with ketchup,” and “Campbell’s New England Gumbo” and a ton of other culinary “bastardizations” of authentic Louisiana cooking. So every time they were on their laptop, I’d hear a “… Boudin corn dog–OH MY GOD PUNKIE YOU BASTARD!!! AAUGH!!!”

    When the conspiracy theories about 5G causing covid started gaining traction, I named my 5Ghz connection “Virus Distribution Centre”

      There’s one in my building called ]Tower-COVID19[/invisible]

      The dangling right bracket at the beginning makes it so much funnier to me. It’s like someone fucked up some sort of SSID markup language and gave away the conspiracy.

        There’s one near me with a split SSID called, VM2.4ghz and VM5ghz-not5g

        I’m pretty sure it’s my elderly neighbors, and I am pretty sure their kids got sick of explaining that five gigahertz and 5G are not the same thing, and neither cause covid.

    We Can Hear You Having Sex

    We didn’t rent an apartment in that building after noticing that one. I figure the walls must be thin.

        Or they were just messing with people. Assuming some who do have sex would read it and think it’s about the.

        I’ve also seen, “We can hear you arguing”

          I mean, come on, everyone can hear everything if you live in a building, that’s normal… people have fights, they have sex, they have parties, they have kids… it’s normal stuff, I really don’t get what the big deal is.

              Agreed.

              But, I’ve lived in buildings my entired life and maybe I’ve gotten numb to these things… I mean, I hear them all the time, but it really doesn’t bother me, I just ignore it. Hell, I even lived in a separate room shared household for about a year. I could litelarly hear everyone’s converstaions… never bothered me, it was just noise.

  • Just around the time of the 2016 election my elderly neighbor was a Trumper. He asked for some help with his WiFi and I told him that I would fix if it I could name it. He didn’t really know what that meant but I got it working and to this day his WiFi broadcast is “Hillary2016”. I think he’s still pissed but no longer my neighbor although I do smile when I drive past the old place. If his children still spoke to him I’m sure they could help change it.
