There's a coffee table leg in my living room I'm sure goes out of its way to connect with people's feet in a most violent and unnecessary manner. It's managed to attack every member of the household on more than one occasion, and has indeed broken toes several times. It is a nefarious and determined piece of metal, and continues to pursue its nasty agenda regardless of the epithets thrown at it.
I feel this way about cords. I put them away separate from one another only to find that they have become entangled when I need them.

Early in my short lived off and on career in construction, I was taught the proper way to coil extension cords so as they would not become knotted up and would still be easily undone. I was pretty happy to share that knowledge with anyone who had an extension cord twenty feet or more in length.
Every sound tech I've ever worked with teaches cable winding as the first thing any noob has to learn before they're allowed to step foot on the stage. Our current tech winds all his cables on Home Depot garden hose reels, and woe betide anyone who winds them wrong-end-to. XLR microphone cables do not appreciate reverse tension.
I’m guessing the ads are effective, what with their appeal to what too many people feel self-conscious about, unrealistically and unreasonably, in most cases. (It may be likened to a flower, but it ain’t a rose, and no reasonable person expects it to be. And really, if one’s sniffer is getting within such proximity as to notice [in all but the most extreme cases], well, he or she oughtn’t be put off by it, and very likely wouldn’t be.)Commercials for Lume. Actually, any commercials that are cheap disgusting shock value to get my attention.
Lady ToE purchased a stick of Lume for me as a joke for Christmas. we both enjoy complaining about Lume’s commercials. We’ve moved from annoyance to having fun mocking them. The deodorant itself has a stink about it that I guess would mask the smell of one’s crotch, crack, and flaps, but I prefer to bathe regularly instead of masking my stench.
I’d imagine that’s contrary to local code. A neighbor here blows autumn leaves into the street a day ahead of the street sweeper’s scheduled visits. It’s also about the only time none of his three cars is parked on the street.I have most likely complained about this before but it still annoys me when neighbors wash their yard clippings and garbage into the gutter and then down the street. The gutter in front of my house is weed and garbage free and I do not appreciate the Slacks up the street on the rare occasions they do yard work, giving me their trash. Thankfully, I have a powerful leaf blower so I can make sure they get back what is theirs.
It is but the leaf blower puts things back to how and where they should be So there is no need for a call. As it is, they are often visited by code and law enforcement.
