As for reasons why not to become a hobo, the obvious health and hygiene concerns are high on the list, but the number one reason almost certainly reads “because you’re allergic to Wifi.”

Despite the last two paragraphs, Santa Fe resident Arthur Firstenberg has left his house and moved into his car to escape the negative impact his neighbor’s use of modern technology has on his body.

Additionally, Firstenberg is suing his neighbor, claiming that by refusing to turn off their cellular phones, computers, routers, Internet service, iPods, fruit bats, washing machines, space heaters and Mechagodzilla, they have damned him to a life of homeless solitude.

Communications and technology enthusiast site TMC explains:

Firstenberg “cannot stay in a hotel, because hotels and motels all employ wi-fi connections, which trigger a severe illness,” says the request for a preliminary injunction. “If (Firstenberg) cannot obtain preliminary relief, he will be forced to continue to sleep in his car, enduring winter cold and discomfort, until this case can be heard.” The case has been assigned to state District Judge Daniel Sanchez, who has yet to set a hearing.

I won’t necessarily doubt Firstenberg’s allergy claims until a doctor rules one way or the other, but I am curious as to what sort of evidence he claims to have of his affliction. Actually, scratch that; I just want to watch a video of Firstenberg eating a Bluetooth headset.

No, I don’t know why.
