Not the first in a series of things my dad taught me that I didn't care about until someone did the thing he got annoyed with me for doing when I was 12...
Electrical cables *want* to hang the way they were manufactured. It's how they were born, they just want to do their thing. Why force them to do something they don't wanna? They get confused, irritated and tangled, and never feel at ease ever again, even when you encourage them to be themselves again. Compassion for cables peeps.
