Why the hell does my phone cord always get twisted up at work?
Wherever I sit, whichever phone I use, my phone cord becomes twisted up after about three days.
My colleagues don't have this problem. I don't use my phone more than they do. I don't sit there twiddling with it or twisting it. I don't stand up and turn around three times whenever I'm on the phone.
So why oh why does it keep happening? Possession is the only explanation I can come up with. ðŸ˜
I don't normally use BIG CATS, but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!!!!

command the wires to spin. Wires have their own algorithm, let
thyself twist in strange and unimaginable complex ways. But as in
the quantum world if one observes this happening it is forced into
a known state. Only when it is not being watched or measured does
the shape shifting begin. This shall be known as the Einstein Jennings
string theory.

Those damn cow 'orkers. I haven't seen bacon pumped into a side of beef like that since the great turducken of '97.
Didn't run into many people who knew, thought it was kept out
of the media...
My turducken experiment was a total failure, couldn't get the dam
grease hot enough, ended up overcooking the thing and almost
set the porch on fire, had it on the driveway first but the tiny bit
of wind kept putting out the flame, then put it on the porch and
had to build up this wind barrier to keep it lit, then at one point
it boiled over, almost pissed in my pants, thought the house was gone
but it didn't ignite. The next day my teenagers were farting around
on the porch and guess what, they tipped over the big can, ten gallons
of slightly used peanut oil all over the porch, took the paint off, seeps
into the wood. General disaster. Screw turduckens....

Perhaps I pick up the phone with my left hand then switch to my right......no that can't be it - the left hand holds my permanent sandwich.
Hmmmmmm. 🙄

Originally posted by kw72ukI'm not sure where to find one, but they have a plug for the hand held portion that spins... and the cord plugs back into that. Might be worth looking for one at Staples, Best Buy... Radio Shack?
