Why does cable/wire/hose always do this? Every time I encounter an electric cable, a length of wire, a garden hose, whatever, it ends up like this. Perhaps I should just stick to the day job!
It's the law of cable physics! "When a length of cable is left on its own and no natural forces affect it, it is the natural state of the cable to wind itself up in a tangle. Unusual skills are needed to undo the effects of this law of cable physics." Fun shot! :)
