Please don’t trim whitespace, I ended up on a network recently which had a space on the end of the SSID


I hope you told them to fix their shit.


I've met tons of people who will argue with you that it's not broken because "A trailing space is no big deal. You can't even see it." I try to explain to them that you may not see it, but the computer does. They just look at me with that blank stare as if I'm crazy and they're right. At that point I tend to drop it and take a mental note to never help that person with computer issues of any sort.
