    Passive Aggressive Wifi Names

    This article on the BBC is pretty entertaining:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19760006

    So who else has done this?

    We have had some really unnecessarily offensive Wifi names, not even for any particular reason, just because!

    I hadn't seen it anywhere, and thought of it after listening to the Offspring. Someone seemingly beat me to it.

    We have friendly neighbours, so it's more 'hello neighbour' or 'have a nice day'

    Re: Passive Aggressive Wifi Names

    Whilst i was in Krakow over the summer one that would frequently show up in our hostel was 'Dildo Team Poland'.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    well it translates to Your Papers Please so it could be any one of hundreds of movies or TV shows that take place in WWII Germany.

    Re: Passive Aggressive Wifi Names

    Only time I ever had anything unusual was on my Mi-Fi 3G mobile wifi do-dad.

    And that was only because I knew the train would be full of nosey commuters.

    Re: Passive Aggressive Wifi Names

    Previously, I had "TalkTalkSucks". It was both a (feeble) protest against TalkTalk's appalling service (and hope no one with the choice would go with them) and my landlord who shoved it down our throat because he had a beef with BT (I offered to pay so that he wouldn't switch over but he wouldn't have it). I had a good case too, for the first three months we suffered from frequent disconnections and sub-dial-up speed until I finally convinced the landlord to contact TT and get it sorted.

    The best one I came across was Jesus.

    Partly because I needed a net connection desperately to be able to use google maps and didn't have allowance on PAYG at the time. Was a godsend.

    Re: Passive Aggressive Wifi Names

    Our neighbours are fairly elderly so a decently secure inoffensive one does the trick,

    Back at uni a lot of students tried hacking ours when we had to use WEP because of games consoles, so we had to come up with a creative name
    "Northumbria Police Surveillance Van 17"
    Worked a treat
