Leonard Hofstadter: Yeah. It's "pennyalreadyeatsourfoodshecanpayforwifi". No spaces.

Yep. I find this trend fairly amusing. A few years ago mine was FBI _Surveillance_Van. Now it's Batcave. My neighbour recently called his wifi LookingForBatman

Some great ones while I was at college. I think my favorite was, in an apartment complex I lived in one year:

I had one friend who was pretty much my room mate every year. We usually named ours TitsMcGee. Except the one year when we roomed with another friend, who creatively named it "324" after our room number. Genius work there...

So...who on TRF piggybacks on neighbors for free wi-fi?

I pay for our WiFi at home, but... if I'm out and about, nowhere near an official "hotspot" (like any McDonald's or shopping mall, for example), I have piggybacked on a stranger's WiFi. My iPod Touch will show the available networks, and sometimes they're not password protected. It's the owner's fault, not protecting it.

 

I went to a Superbowl Party two years ago and spent the whole night riding the WiFi signal of the party host's neighbor.
