Waarom raken telefoonsnoeren in elkaar gedraaid?

http://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-Your-Phone-Cable-from-Getting-Twisted-and-Tangled bevestigt in punt 4 van methode 1 hetzelfde fenomeen: “The tangles occur when the handset of the phone is pulled or twisted around into position that are the opposite direction of the twists already in the chord. While this can happen from either side, it is most common when you pick the phone up with one hand, switch to the other, and then hang up with the hand that began farthest from the phone.” Nog een bron:
“My office phone cord never twists. The home phone cord always twists. The main difference seems to be that I am not the only one using the home phone. Some people are twisters. It usually has to do with transferring the phone between hands.”
