There's a solution
Actually, there are several. The one I would suggest is putting a label on the cable (inadvertent poetry) indicating what it is used for.

Hahahahaha
After a particularly frustrating morning the other week, this is what I eventually plumped for - the cable now sports a massive label reading I AM NOT "MESS" on one side and TIDYING ME AWAY IS REALLY UNLUCKY on the other. Since then it hasn't strayed at all :)

You’re definitely winning at the game of life Emvs, you still ask Optimus Prime which child like clothes you should wear to your dead end job arranging paperclips somewhere whilst shooting mega action spectaculars on your nokia phone at the weekends

I love seeing comedy t-shirts, especially on middle aged comic nerds.
Which one are you wearing today lol?


I hope it's funny lol

You know, about 9 years ago someone gave me a comedy T-shirt as a gift, that was someone who knew me slightly less well than you do
It read: "Ignore this person", and then an arrow pointing to the side

I'm thinking they were perhaps more prescient than I suspected at the time

You shouldn't accept gifts from people you don't know or you'll end up molested again
You also have no idea what prescient means.
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 8 May 2012, 17:23, closed)

Oh no, I think they got it spot on
As Captain Subtext would have it, I think the message behind the gift was: "The next person to ask you about comedy T-shirts will be a fucking idiot. Ignore them."

Anyone over the age of twelve wearing a football top or a comedy t shirt is pretty much a mental defective
Check this cunt out, so autistic he's broken all the rulez

I find his thoroughly convincing Marty Feldman impression incredibly moving,
his humbling inability to understand what 'prescient' means had me in tears.

"Prescient" - having knowledge of the future
"The next person to ask you about comedy T-shirts will be a fucking idiot. Ignore them."

You fucking idiot.
