A Passive-Aggressive Conversation Between My Loud Neighbor And Me, Via Wi-Fi Network Names
My Wifi Network Name:
Turn Down Your TV
Seriously I Can Hear Everything You’re Watching
You Know, Other People Live Here Too
I Can Hear Your Phone Conversations As Well-5G
Also, Your Fights With Your Girlfriend Are Really Loud and Inane
Do You Ever Leave Your House?
I Know More About Your Life At This Point Than Everyone I’m Related To
For The Love Of God, Just Watch Something Else Besides MSNBC!
My Neighbor’s Wifi Network Name:
Wait, Have These All Been Directed At Me?
My Wifi Network Name:
Yes! The Loudness Is Very Disruptive
Him:
Well Who Told You To Listen?
Me:
I’m Not Trying To, But It’s Like You’re In My Living Room
Him:
I Can Do Whatever I Want When I’m In My Own Home
Me:
True, And I Could Teach Tap Dancing To Ritalin Addicts While Cooking Borscht Every Night But I Respect My Neighbors
Him:
If You Don’t Like It Then You Can Just Move
Me:
No I Can’t, This Is Rent Controlled! You Should Have To Move Since I Was Here First
Him:
Go To Hell
Me:
Been There Ever Since You Moved In
Him:
Why Are We Fighting?
Me:
I Don’t Know, I Want To Like You
Him:
Me Too, You Seem Like A Thoughtful, Decent Person
Me:
I Appreciate That, And For What It’s Worth You’re Not Crazy, Angela Was Not Validating Your Feelings Last Week
Him:
Right!? It Was Like She Just Wasn’t Hearing Me
Me:
I Heard You Loud And Clear, Friend. I Guess That’s Kind Of The Whole Issue, Haha!
Him:
LOL! I’m Glad We Had This Talk, Neighbors Never Communicate Anymore, You Know?
Me:
You’re Right, Can I Come Over And Borrow a Cup of Sugar?
Him:
