You might think that cables and chords tangle themselves due to a combination of tiny vibrations over time and the initial position and elastic potential of the cables in question.

You might think that leaving the cable in a dense spiral (the most common storing method) would allow the "upper strings" to fall to the side over time, but (due to the elastic tension at the other end of the part that fell) they wouldn’t fall perfectly to the ground, which would result in the tangles and knots.

YOU WOULD BE WRONG!!!

The truth that so many don't want to accept is that there are nefarious creatures that sneak into people's homes with their only intention being to knot and tangle their cables, chords, and wires! Creatures so foul that they do this heinous act for no reason other than wicked glee.

These elusive and slippery beings are known only as the “Cable Elves”, and there is no house, home, or building safe from their evil entangling ways.
