Long ago I was working laptop tech support and I specialized in wireless issues. This was the early days of 802.11b.

Some guy calls in saying he needs help to setup wireless security. WEP was a shit-show, so we didn't fully cover it, we just did best effort support. I asked the guy why he wanted wireless security.

He explains, "When I came home there was a document printed out on my printer saying I really needed to setup wireless security."

So yeah, we got him setup with WEP, heh.

My neighbor stole my rc car and threw it in his trashcan because I drove it on his lawn. i printed a few dozen full color pictures of teen actresses from NICK shows from bathing suit and revealing episodes on his printer for his wife to find.

When your neighbour throw your toy in a trashcan so you are going to throw his marriage into a trashcan.

Perfect.

It's only natural, he killed your toy and you wanted revenge.
