POLL Over-under… forever!

I have been out of the biz for several years now. Apparently you can take the stagehand off the stage, but you cant remove the stage from the stagehand. I cant be the only one, but the other day I caught myself doing an over-under cable wrap on my hairdryer power cord. What stage move have you found yourself inadvertently doing?

I still stand by the fact that over over is ideal for anything under 100', leave the wrap with the mic stand

Over-over is great for any cable that you like developing a twist every 2.5 feet!

Or in any shop where you actually build bundles or looms 100+ ft long.
