Are you sure you aren't being followed?

One of my older ones was "WeDontHaveWifi" because people would say "what's your wifi?" and we would tell them that and sometimes they would say "ohh, ok" and not ask for the password, haha. Password, incidentally, was "whatPassword?"

I lived in the hood for a while, and a neighbor's wifi was called CrackWhoreNet.

My mobile hotspot name is Win32Virus.exe

The looks when I turn it on in an airport...

The ultimately stupid name would be "Allahu Akbar". That would maybe cause some trouble.

Nothing will ever top "Galaxy Note 7". Super fun in planes, especially if they're flying.

Had one named "FBI Surveillance Van #3". I know, not so creative even 10-years ago, but read on.

Guy at the end of the street sold weed. He was telling my neighbor to be on the lookout, there was an FBI van cruising around. Being at the end of the street, my signal faded in and out like it was moving. Dude was freaked the fuck out.

"All my neighbours are cunts"

Mine is "GetOffMyLAN". Then one of my neighbors changed theirs to "GetOffMyLan69". I'm not even mad.

From Auntie Donna's Big 'ol House of Fun, "pretty fly for a WiFi"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"pretty fly for a wifi" is super common, I see it all the time.
