People Share The Best Wi-Fi Names They Have Ever Seen

Is that also your stage name?

In this day and age of hacking and piracy why we even bother with codes and passwords is beyond me. Plus internet is so state of the art right now who cares what frequency you're on.... just share your webs. But not everyone feels that way. Most of us like to get creative with naming our frequencies. Well creative can be a stretch, some people just get flat out nuts

Redditor u/KatieB_Erickson wanted to see who was the most creative with their wi-fi identities by asking.... What's the best Wi-Fi name you've seen?


Louder!

'Yell penis for password.' Had a handful of funny encounters out of that, especially on the train.

This was the wifi in my college house and we had the password set as yell louder. We would have people screaming it over and over again, sometimes taking hours to figure it out. One guy never even got it, he just gave up and went home, poor guy.

CEXUK. 

In the UK we have a second hand games/electronics store called 'Central Entertainment Exchange', which is shortened to CEX.

Their staff WiFi is called ProtectedCEX and their public one is UnprotectedCEX.

Pay Up! 

When my school lost Internet for a few dozen minutes you'd see a few mobile data hotspots pop up. My favorite was, translated, "I PAY TUITION AND GET NO NET."

I pictured this as one of the yelled statements before "Goodness gracious great balls of fire."

Fools. 

Ours is 'Lord of the Pings' And the password is 'wifi you fools.'

Oh wow. My 2.4g network is "Lord of the Pings" and my 5g network is "Return of the Ping".

G'Day.

"I come from a LAN down under."

This was in Australia.

Password: mom's name + birth year.

Spontanemoose

When I visit my parents I love setting theirs to "Mom Click Here." It pisses her off so much.

519....

519 was the house number on a street for college kid housing.

Short of asking OP which i guess you are doing. Go past Every college campus checking your wifi for the name specified in the post (this may take some time) until you find that room then knock on their door and enjoy your flicked bean.

Hey Pat.

Wifi name: Is this the krusty krab?

Password: no this is patrick.

Among the many reasons people watch, and rewatch, sitcoms is to imagine your life was more like the one you were watching.

Being able to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village on a line cook's salary, somehow always having the comfortable sofa available at your favorite coffee shop whenever you pop in, or having your best friends always available at your beck and call whenever you need them.

For the romantics, however, it's wishing you could have a romance like you've seen on television.

True not all sitcom romances are exactly the sort that makes you go all aflutter (Were Ross and Rachel actually on a break? And don't even get me started about Ted and Robin.)

Other sitcom couples are so captivating, though, that we would have given anything to be at their wedding... or at the very least go to their home for dinner every Friday.

And this includes plutonic couples, as there is nothing more heartwarming than a lasting friendship.

As an editor, I am not just in charge of proofreading and correcting style and format. I am also in charge of making sure all the contact information provided, such as phone numbers and emails, work.

After working for 10 hours straight a few months ago, I forgot to check the phone numbers and let a brochure go to publication with a phone number that did not work.

Luckily, a similar mistake had actually happened before with another editor for another client a year prior, so contact info on print materials like this brochure were checked by every department rather than just editorial, and the mistake was caught.

Since I didn't know this, when I heard the phone number was wrong, my heart dropped to my stomach and I thought I was sure fired. Luckily, I was just told to make sure this never happens again. I was relived that there was no fallout, but when I first heard what happened, my only thought was. 'I totally f**ked up!'

Redditors are no strangers to this feeling, as they've made egregious mistakes themselves. They are only too eager to share their experiences.

With the world's finances the way they are, it's a miracle if people can save their spare change.

Inflation has a stronghold on too many people.

Sometimes it feels like just breathing can cost you money.

It's hard to make and absurdly easy to lose.

So be vigilant with your wallet.

And try to spend on certain things in moderation.

Going out for meals three times a day adds up.

Even with Wendy's value menu.

We all have strong opinions about something, but when we think of opinions, we often think of hot button topics like political subjects.

But as it turns out, sometimes we can have just as strong of opinions of our preferred types of pasta.
