'Hi. I really need some help, I’m looking for a very specific brand of Russian vodka. It’s not really for me, it’s a long story,' he wrote on Reddit.

As Shakespeare once famously wrote: "There are more things in heaven and earth... than are dreamt of in your philosophy".

So far, nothing about this is particularly strange. Plenty of people have a preferred brand of booze, and clearly this man is one of them. However, the top comment underneath the request leads us down a very bizarre rabbit hole. "I didn’t know he could go on planes so I didn’t do a welcoming ritual, and now he’s mad at me. My Wi-Fi barely works, and I really need it to get jobs. It’s his doing, I’m sure of it, nothing I do to fix it works.

Like the brownies of Scottish folklore, they're said to protect the well-being of their descendants and to look over them in a bid to improve their family's welfare. At times, they can become angry, particularly if a family is corrupted by bad behaviour and language - however there are no known records of a domovoi messing with someone's Wi-Fi router.

Another person offers the dubious advice of giving the gnome Buckfast, which may very well bring its own set of problems. "Have you considered really good gin or buckfast? Gin is very common in Edinburgh, and a lot of it is brewed there, might be a good close second given his preferred vodka isn't available?"

The name translates as "Five Lakes Vodka" and several people thought they knew where to find it. One person shared: "The secret Polish vodka arcade has both a lot of vodka, and a great supply chain to support it. You could try asking there."
