The rise of passive-aggressive wi-fi names

[Thundershot]

Hi,
I've just read this on the B.B.C. website

People are naming they're Wi-Fi networks to insult the neighbours...what ever next?

Calling your wifi Red Shadow? Often wondered what the neighbours think when that pops up...

Mine's called C-3PO, the computer's Artoo.

Just like their film namesakes they often bicker & stop communicating with each other.

Yeah seen a few of these over the years. My favourite two in a non English speaking country were "This one is not cool" & "This one is not cool either".

The rest were like "mon cul" or "arschloch", fairly predictable.

Why be so derogatory toward the neighbours seems Pointless to me, our Wi Fi network "number 54 die you f*ckers" is a name I chose from a selected few the others "your wife has been fingered by an elephant" and "if your dog wakes me up again I'll kill it' were good but didn't fit the bill for me.
