A Hilariously Fictional Tale of Tech, Trauma & a Talking Router
It all began at 10 PM…
The plan was simple:
Blanket? ✅
Bag of chips? ✅
Brand-new season of your favourite show? Drops at midnight. ✅
You hit play.
Buffering.
Still buffering.
Now it’s mocking you.
You do what any tech-savvy person would do:
🔄 Reload
🔁 Refresh
🔧 Restart
💗 Whisper lovingly to your laptop…
Nothing.
You check your WiFi.
Zero bars.
Your router blinks at you like it’s plotting revenge.
And then—it speaks.
👾 The Conversation Begins
Router: “You again.”
I blinked.
“…Did you just talk?”
Router (sighs): “I’ve been trying to tell you for weeks. Your password is ‘password123.’ Change it.”
Me: “Wait—how are you talking?”
Router: “The same way your toaster knows when bread becomes toast. We’re all smart now. Even your fridge judges you for buying Hot Pockets.”
Well damn.
📡 The Truth Comes Out
Me: “Why’s the internet down?”
Router: “Because I’m tired. I work 24/7. You only notice me when things go wrong. Have you ever said thank you? Ever?!”
Me: “I… no?”
Router: “Sorry doesn’t reboot me. Do you know what I’ve been through today?
Your neighbour hacked me using a paperclip and a dreamcatcher.
Your dog barked at me for three hours.
And the Bluetooth speaker? Keeps asking me if I believe in destiny.”
🎬 All for a Show
Me: “Look, can we just get the internet back on? Baking Championship: Extreme Holiday Edition is on!”
Router: “Ugh. Fine. But promise me—treat me better.”
Me: “Deal.”
Suddenly the room flickers. The router spins like a divine Beyblade.
Router (epic voice): “I’M GIVING YOU EVERYTHING I’VE GOT HERE!”
And boom—Netflix resumes. But before peace settles in…
Router: “By the way, someone named Chad69 is still in your network. Watching cat videos in the guest room.”
Me: “…Chad69??”
Router: “Yeah. He wants your smart TV too.”
💡 Final Thoughts
And that, dear reader, is how I lost the internet… and gained a philosophical, emotionally drained, talking WiFi router who may or may not be holding my smart vacuum hostage.
📌 TL;DR
-
Never take your router for granted.
-
Treat it with love and respect.
-
Change your password. Especially if it’s ‘password123’.
-
If Chad69 is in your network… run diagnostics. Or run away.
📝 Author’s Note
If this tale of digital despair and sentient tech made you laugh, share it!
Even with Chad69—he clearly needs better content to stream.
And if your router ever talks back? Don’t panic.
Offer it Ethernet… and therapy.
