A man has shared his frustration with his neighbour's extraordinary demand regarding his home WiFi router.
The homeowner claims his neighbour knocked on his door holding a small potted plant and what she described as a diagram of a WiFi signal, suggesting his internet connection was "disrupting the vibrational energy of her succulents".
The hand-drawn diagram, which the man said "honestly looked like a sad jellyfish", was presented as evidence that WiFi signals were beaming through their shared wall and bombarding her plants continuously.
She argued the plants were "spiritually wilting" because they mistook the WiFi signals for sunlight, despite being positioned in a dark hallway with no natural light.

The neighbour presented the man with two options to resolve what she perceived as the WiFi interference problem.
She demanded he either "turn off my WiFi every night between 10pm and 6am (apparently the plants' rest hours) or let her share my WiFi and move the router into her unit so she could regulate the signal properly".
The woman claimed her plants had been fine until the man installed a new modem.
When he laughed at her demands, thinking she was joking, she became angry and "stormed off".

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that WiFi signals can impact plant growth, as the signal is non-ionising and low-energy, meaning it lacks sufficient power to cause cellular damage to plants or humans.
A plant positioned too close to a router might experience scorched leaves or wilting due to excessive heat produced by the device, rather than the wireless signal itself.
Reddit commenters responding to the man's post quickly suggested the woman might be using her plants as an excuse to gain access to his WiFi for personal use.
One commenter noted: "So she doesn't want you to use WiFi unless she can also use your WiFi.

Other Reddit users offered practical solutions to help the man manage his neighbour's demands without actually complying with them.
One person suggested: "Log into your router and change your SS ID to not displayed. Your devices will still connect and tell her the WiFi is off. Much simpler."
The man had previously described his neighbour as someone who told him his "aura is too digital" and claimed to have a "telepathic connection with crystals", though these quirks hadn't directly affected his life until the WiFi incident.
