Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Just now, Fresh8686 said: How about we not and instead be mature adults who check to make sure that what's funny to us isn't an offense, burden, or violation of their domain to somebody else. This is immature asshole **** in my opinion. You have to have a certain relationship with people to play like this, because if you don't then it's not playing to them. Come on, This is how you build relationships with people. Like later in the summer at a BBQ he casually has a conversation with his neighbor and is like "remember that week that your AC kept dropping to 55 at night? That was me" and they share a laugh and a drink and a bond is forged. Doesn't sound like you've been adulting long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can think what you want and describe it how you want, but for me, that's a violation of my boundaries. I respect people's space and home and I don't "play" like that. You can have fun and build relationships without ****ing with people. People have different standards and ways of relating and we can learn to check and calibrate before doing stuff like this. That, is being a mature adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I think it would be good for the forum if dave got a special label under his username like some other members have received. I'm thinking something like Fabulist. Or Pinocchio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Where's the original thread that this is the prank thread for? I'm thinking of setting up an open WiFi access point for the neighbors and calling it 'NSA Surveillance Van'. And see who tries to connect.

Springfield Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 My wifi network is "The Jerkstore Called", in reference to Seinfeld. I'm wondering if my neighbors don't get the joke and think I'm just some douchebag. I mean... I am just some douchebag, but I'd rather they figure it out based on personal experience.

tshile Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 In addition to being a douchebag, you're committing a rather serious crime. Courts have ruled that unauthorized access to devices includes accessing devices you know you're not supposed to be in, but got in anyway because security on said device is lacking. Which you're now bragging about on the internet. Good job, all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 You're being much to overt with your shenanigans. Like others have said, that's immature and you should feel bad about yourself. Adults know that really screwing with people requires a lighter touch. Try changing things just enough to make people wonder if they're losing their grip on reality.

I'm interested in the Jeep vehicles that could have their breaks activate remotely. I may end up with an older car or keep the one I have long as I can, not feeling the whole "stopping automatically" thing. What if I'm up against a minotaur in the middle of the street and try to run him over, car saving me actually gets me killed. That's counter productive.

With 1 I have changed their alarm by 1 minute each day when they wake up. Some days I go forward 1 minute, others back 1 minute. But always 1 minute. With the other I always turn their living room light on at 8:03pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is "Currently unavailable", and another is "I'm a vegan". Mine is currently generic, but that's because I'm still on a temporary router until I can find my router of the future. I haven't yet thought about what I want to name it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this about six months ago. I still have wifi, but not for anything important. I'll eventually get to access points, one for the family and the other for my other stuff, and put everything behind those two. I already the Cisco I want to use, haven't bought the Sonicwall yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see a grown man acting like a teenaged script kiddie around his neighborhood and not think about the repercussions of such actions.
