If you never had to fend off a crazy neighbor in your lifetime, can you honestly say you truly lived a full life?

No matter who you are or where you live, people with bizarre requests and demands will somehow find a way to follow, especially when it comes to where you live. Unless you live on a secluded farm in the middle of nowhere, you must have neighbors, and out of all the neighbors you have, one of them is bound to be a bit, to put it lightly, not quite right.

If you're lucky, these neighbors will turn out to be harmless, even if they can be annoying. Other times, you might find yourself in the midst of some serious neighborly disputes with these neighbors, and that is not a fun experience. Before you know it, you are being awakened at 5 AM to their screams, or end up calling the cops because they refuse to leave your property. 

However, these experiences are a rite of passage to any living adult, just like the person who wrote the story below.

    Entitled Neighbor Demands I Stop Using My Own WiFi Because It’s Distracting Her Plants

    Yes. You read that correctly. I live in a townhouse complex with paper thin walls and a whole bunch of colorful personalities. One of them is my neighbor, a woman in her

    I'm usually sitting out front on my phone with my computer relaxing. I suppose that's why she feels I'm too digital? But her latest stunt truly took the cake.

    Last week she knocked on my door holding a small potted plant in one hand and a printout of what looked like a hand drawn diagram of a WiFi signal in the other. She told

    to her, the plants were spiritually wilting because they thought the WiFi was sunlight, but it wasn't. The best part? Her plants were in a dark hallway with no natural light.

    She claimed they had been fine until I got a new modem and then gave me two options: either turn off my WiFi every night between 10 PM and 6 AM (apparently the

    I laughed because I thought she was joking. She wasn't. She stormed off as I was laughing at her, I'm still currently waiting to see what comes out of this.

    Shieldbreaker50 Log into your router change your SS ID to not displayed. Your devices will still connect and tell her the Wi-Fi is off. Much simpler.

    AusCan531 Probably better than my idea of renaming the SS ID to "Plant-Blaster 3000"

    Big_Bookkeeper1678 'Let her share my WiFi and move the router into her unit...' Bingo... Crazy lady has a plan for getting free WiFi...she has to 'regulate the signal properly'.

    AdvocatusAvem Tell her that your signals are already well regulated and that it must be the unit above because you noticed a disturbance in the force a week ago.

    ForwardPlenty While she doesn't sound dangerous, she could be a threat to your property. I would think about getting a camera to monitor the health and well-being of your router. No telling what the crystals will tell her to do.
