A propensity for cables to get tangled indicates a high level of auditors-of-reality activity.

Because you're not taking account of the twist when you coil them up.

There are right and wrong ways to coil cables, as any music-tech knows. YouTube has the answers.

I read somewhere that cables can be "right or left handed" ie they only loop correctly one way, no idea if its true or not I am a contractor so can afford a pair of wireless headphones

Why do cables get tangled?

WTF is it with cables / headphones. Everytime I go into a drawer, or laptop back it's like some Merchant seaman from the 1800s has got hold of them and tied them into a four clover crookshank knot.

I just took my headphones off, put them down and when I came back they were tangled. Gremlins? Aliens? Invisible 1800s Merchant Seamen?

WTF is going on !!!!
