How do you get rid of those stubborn tangles?

Take the handset high enough and dangle it down. It should automatically untangle. Thomas
[This is a reply to Thomas, the threading bug is back] That didn't work (though it is resolved now, see my reply to digital man above yours). Admit it; you only said that to get me standing precariously on a swivel chair dangling my severed handset beneath me like a yoyo... :-O ;P

I have one of those wierd tangles in my telephone handset cable. It looks like it ought to be impossible to untangle it, but I know it can't be. It is one of these cables[^]. I can't find a photo of the tangle, but chances are that you will probably know the type I mean. My question is: how do I untangle it? It is driving me mad... :-O

(My theory, from experience) What happens is you pick up the phone with your writing hand, then decide you need to take notes, transfer the handset to your non-writing hand, and eventually hang up. That's what causes the twist, try it and see. Moving the phone to your non-writing side will help get into the habit.

Thanks, a good tip.

Then you're just throwing your money away... to China probably. That's what "they" want you to use, don't you know it has a mind-control chip in it that "they" want you to keep close to your head?
