Tangled Charger Cords  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,944 in life 5 years ago

I hate those skinny cords on most battery chargers. I have a digital camera and a bag for the camera and all it's accesories. Now I hate the fact that the cords always seem to get tied and or twisted beyond belief. I spent about 15 minutes earlier untangling my cord. So now that I also have a car charger in my bag I decided to leave the regular AC charger on my coffee table so the cord wont get twisted or knotted anymore. (hopefully) I'll use that a lot more than the car charger. I got to where I'd wait till I left somwewhere to use the car to charge my batteries. But with the amount of photos I take that was at least twice a week. HAHAHA! Does your cord(s) get knotted and or twisted beyond belief? Any cures to stop this from occuring?
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

It is not only the charger cords.
All the cords you need for computers are a real pain.
If there was some way to encase them it would be terrific.
I think it would be nearly impossible to do though.
And why do these tiny little spiders find the need to create their webs on my cords.

They have things to keep all the comp cords organized actually.
Oh and those little spiders, I sent them to your puter. Hee hee!

so true on the computer cords, my husband has to untangle them and keep them neat every so often, the little ties help but even if you don't move the cords around they still get tangled.

I hate it.

Mooch

Try duct taping the sords to the floor. HAHAHA! It works wonders.

I used to have a place for all my old chargers, and spare universal chargers and I would keep them all wound up and they would still become a tangled mess.

I have to say right now they stay tangled most of the time until it just gets beyond annoying, and then my husband straightens them out.

My spares, get thrown in a bucket and I untangle them when I need one, which isn't very often.

Mooch

My camera takes standard AA batteries but I'm seriously thinking of switching to rechargeable batteries as much as I've been using it lately. As for cords getting tangled, none of mine do. My cell phone cord is on the kitchen counter where hubby and I use it for our cell phones, my camera cord that hooks into my puter is hooked up behind and brought up where my mouse cord comes up then looped over the top of the podium my monitor sits on so it'a always ready to hook my camera up. I also have a battery charger for my cordless drill but that stays in the case along with the drill and other accessories it came with and only set it on the counter to charge. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ohhhhhhhh I forgot, my computer and stereo system cords. ughhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Now THOSE are a major mess that I don't deal with unless I absolutely have to.

I hate those as much as I hate the cords behind my desk...lol! But you are right the skinny ones are the worst. I'm forever getting the knots out of them!


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,944 in life  5 years ago

Mine is a strong cord and I just twist it
back into shape after untying it that is. HAHAHA!!

Oh, I hate when that happens. And those skinny ones are the worst. I get so aggravated trying to untangle them that I have to get my husband to do it before I just jerk the cord apart. LOL

I almost hate to say this but no, I keep all my cords from getting tangled.
I have a system, I have a wrap for each of my cords and when I am done using the cord I do not put it down until it is back in it's wrap.
Some of the wraps are twist ties others are ponytail holders.
The thin cords are wrapped with those clothe ponytail holders so they won't cut the cords, the heavier cord get twist ties that come in the box of garbage bags. Susan


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,944 in life  5 years ago

The thin cords get twisted is the main problem. I guess it'll never end.

My husband always wraps our cords up in a carpenter's style knot. We can still charge our cell phones and other devices without having to undo them much and they don't get tangled.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,944 in life  5 years ago

A carpenters knot? Is that the looping type of deal with cords?
