Of Granny knots

It doesn’t mater what sort of cable I have they always ends up in knots.

When we went camping recently I laid out the cable carefully from the electric point to the tent. There were no kinks, no coils of cable, just a lovely straight line. 

As we packed up and I collected the cable back in…Knots. Where do they come from? Is it me, am I destined to a life of knotted cables?

Aside from electric cables, my next pet hate is headphone wires. I have to use a wired headset for work, and it knots. I coil it carefully but when I go to use it…Knots. It’s crazy.

Knots law – If a length of cable is left alone it will tangle.
