‘We can hear you having sex’: Passive-aggressive Wi-Fi network names
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fed up of hearing your neighbours making love loudly? Let them know via your Wi-Fi network name.
The trend is growing in the UK, apparently, and Reddit users have posted a collection of amusing ones.
Other examples include 'stop slamming the door!!!', 'Shut The Barking Dog Up No 7' and 'Stop Stealing My Paper!'.
Another obvious irritation which is clear to see is when neighbours use Wi-Fi without permission - but instead of making it password protected, some have taken to changing their Wi-Fi name to get the message across for them:
'Covet not thy neighbour's wi-fi'.
So if you've got a complaint to make to the Johnsons at Number 42, avoid the awkward face-to-face interaction, and simply let them know via the web...
If you've got any unusual Wi-Fi names, let us know below.
