:whs: You would think it is simple to understand and do.
When working, the unskilled and brain dead would wind up the leads in no particular fashion, leave them on the floor near the power outlets and always leave them with the plug ends on the bottom of the coil. So when you wanted to use it next you had to turn the coil over so the lead would uncoil. :gaah:
Sorry TL, I'm with and Fenderbelly on this one. Regarding the folding of socks, maybe Skew could give us a few pointers :p:rolleyes:.
:sigh:
Make that a double-sigh TL - gotta agree with and Fenderbelly :shrug:Quote:

Don't even get her started on folding fitted sheets!:wink::p:)Quote:

when you plug the ends together you are effectively winding half the cord in one direction and the other in the other direction. Half is wound up and half is unwound.:cool:Quote:
