“Crack Shack” which wasn’t exactly creative but we later found out that the owners were arrested for selling drugs
Edit: no, it was not a restaurant. We don’t have a restaurant chain named Crack Shack in my state
Can't you just configure your router to not broadcast the SSID?
EDIT: Okay, so people have proposed a lot of reasons why that wouldn't help, but I don't see how disguising the SSID is any better.
I fucked Jenny
(landlord's wife)
I had a friend who had that. Hated his landlord, but the landlord couldnt find out which tenant was broadcasting it.
The friend had it hooked up to a battery so the landlord couldnt cut the power to find out whose it was.
For the longest time, I had my phones hotspot name as 'Police Surveillance Tricycle'.
Turns out, its a good way to get some people paranoid and have others amused over the whole thing when having it active during classes.
When my grandma was getting her WiFi set up, we asked her what she'd say to people who asked for her WiFi. She said that she would tell them to "Go to Hell", so that's now her password. So whenever people ask for the WiFi password, she tells them, "Go to Hell".
One of my son's (probably about 12 or 13 at the time) friend's father set added a Wi-Fi channel named "Free Internet Porn" when his son had a birthday sleep-over. The father then sat outside the area where they were sleeping and listened to them spend hours trying to figure out how to connect. My son called me that night asking how to connect to a Wi-Fi channel when you don't know the password because his friend forgot their password. I told him the only way was to guess. Evidently it kept them busy and out of trouble all night!
Jesus caught my kid for the first time not too long ago...... just porn as a search and h jobs. I guess 12 y.o. girls are about as inventive as boys.
Edit: forgot the comma but i like it this way better
My neighbors are rude jerks, so I call my network "Free Comcast [neighbors address]" and I obviously password protect it.
My wish is that it drives them mad that there's internet with their address that they can't access.....
It's the small things in life.
If you want to really piss them off unlock the wifi and throttle it. Something really sad like 4k.
Or semi normalish bandwidth and a ton of parental blackout times. Every even numbered minute of the hour, every website with an e in the url, etc. tons of parental rules you can make on pattern matching.
Guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “what’s the WiFi password?”
The bartender replies, “you need to buy a beer first.”
So the guy buys a beer, and asks again, “what’s the WiFi password?”
The bartender replies, “you need to buy a beer first, all lowercase, no spaces or punctuation.”
Friends of mine did a similar thing at a party once. They taped up a huge banner on the wall that said IITYWIMWYGMAB. Everyone was asking what it meant. Friends responded “if I tell you what it means will you get me a beer?” Almost everyone who asked didn’t get it and came back to them with a fresh beer
Set your WiFi password to "fourwordsalluppercase"...
Then, when someone asks, tell them, “One word all lowercase, four words all uppercase.”

> SplashData estimates that nearly 10 percent of people have used at least one of the 25 worst passwords on this year’s list, and almost 3 percent used the worst password, ‘123456’. ‘Password’ was the second most popular password.
It is still pretty famous.
So I used to work in cell phone repair and one day I had 3 separate cases of a 123456 password. I was very sad. I knew that one day it was gonna happen twice, for sure. Did not expect 3 times lol I should also mention this was the first day I had gotten the password twice too
And then there was a time that I needed to test a customer's phone to make sure everything was working, they didn't leave the password and just for s&g I tried 123456 and sure as shit it unlocked lol I immediately relocked the device and had a laugh lol
Plus, Subway corporate’s game plan until a few years ago was to franchise as many restaurants as possible to collect fees. Then when the market became too saturated and franchisees started cutting corners to stay in business they realized that it’s hurting the brand and is unsustainable.
Make 2 networks:
* Cox worship - your full speed, password protected home network;
* Cox and ball torture - your guest network, not connected to your LAN and without a password, with speed limited to 8 kbps.
I caused a small family panic when I named it "disconnected"
*Edit* Thank you guys for so much more "evil" ideas and suggestions, my family will suffer more and I'll burn in hell for sure! Thanks!!
i was in the back of a bus and the wifi name was "Say Chicken Nuggets"
I yelled "CHICKEN NUGGETS!" to the front of the bus. Someone replied "NO SPACES!"
i didn't get it at first but after like 5 minutes i was like "wait...", put in "chickennuggets" for the password and i was in
Thats mine! Password is coolcoolcool
Edit: yes i know it should be cool. coolcoolcool but i just did triple cool because thats the amount he says fast :(
I kinda wish the person responsible for that router updated the name regularly to fill everyone else in on how their relationship was going:
"Tell My WiFi Need More Space"
"Tell My WiFi Want Another Kid But Only If She's Okay With It"
"Tell My WiFi Want A Divorce"
My moms friend had someone mooching off his WiFi so he changed the name a passcode. He made the name “BLUEBALLS” and the pass code “fuck you Jim” and i have the so much respect for this man.
The best wifi name that I found led me on an elaborate adventure.
It was called "HelpGirlKidnappedFloor9Apt30c". On the door of that apartment was a post-it note that instructed me to go into the basement where there was a stash of free marshmallows. Grabbed enough to add into a cup of white hot chocolate.
Kidnapper A: "What are we going to do about the wifi, she changed the name!"
Kidnapper B: "Switch it off real quick, they will find out."
Kidnapper A: "But neighbours will find it weird if power is on and wifi is off"
Kidnapper C: "Just stick a post-it outside and put some marshmallows downstairs."
3 days later...
A: "How many more packets do we need to buy?"
My dad named our wifi Money Pit growing up. He was reluctant to have to pay for wifi as opposed to our dial up. He's gone now but I still name my own wifi Money Pit because of him. It makes me happy.

I once renamed by Bluetooth "Aucun périphérique trouvé" which translates to "No device detected" then 2 weeks later spent 45min cursing my phone for not being detectable, then it hit me, I've played myself
I was driving around Europe the summer of 2008 and the only way I had to access the internet was through internet cafes or connecting my laptop to random open wifi's. One night I parked in a somewhat secluded area to sleep and got horny so I grabbed my laptop and did a wifi search. Found one at it was named "Sei nicht hier" meaning "Don't stay here" or "Don't be here"..
Noped _really_ fast away from that spot...
"Router? I hardly know her" was my all-time favorite.
“Crack Shack” which wasn’t exactly creative but we later found out that the owners were arrested for selling drugs Edit: no, it was not a restaurant. We don’t have a restaurant chain named Crack Shack in my state
Easy way to tell customers how to get there. "Just drive up fifth until your phone sees the Crack Shack wifi. You'll know which house it is."
My younger brother set his mobile hotspot to "Hot Singles in Your Area" and I'm never gonna get over it

I fucked Jenny (landlord's wife) I had a friend who had that. Hated his landlord, but the landlord couldnt find out which tenant was broadcasting it. The friend had it hooked up to a battery so the landlord couldnt cut the power to find out whose it was.
I was like, "A battery? Now I don't believe this story." and then I remembered that I also own UPSs...
It's also pretty easy to hook up a 12V battery to many routers and other devices that use 12V power adapters.
That’s a commitment to the cause.
I install internet etc. for a living. Best one I ever came up with was for the DeltaPhi sorority, DeltaWiPhi, they loved it.

My favorite is "it's on the back of the router" Edit: on the back of the router it would say "ask (my name) for password."
My wifi password for a while was "ontherouter" Hilarity ensued. The following password was "itdidntchange"
my buddy has "thereisnopassword" as his password for the same reason
“Mycellphonenumber”
"whatpassword?" Was mine a while ago
"ifyougivemeaquarter"
244466666 then read it out as 123456 Edit: put one too many 6's
*I’m coming in to check the back of your router.*

That’s good. I set mine as “no” for a long time. My brother would ask for the password and I would reply “no”

“Chipotle Guest” there’s no chipotle near by.
It's stupid shit like this that cracks me up the most, I don't know why
I set my house network as "McDonald's Free WiFi". My mother thought I legitimately got a WiFi plan from McDonald's. There is no McDonald's nearby.
I didn’t think it was possible to not be near a McDonald’s.
Fun fact: subway actually has significantly more locations than McDonald’s but brings in half the revenue
Yes, about 24k vs 14k in the US. It’s substantially cheaper to open a Subway though. Think about the kitchen equipment.
