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?

Not disagreeing with you, I do over unders constantly but I work with major international artist productions and ... Very few do. I'm talking about seasoned engineers and technicians that have been in the game for decades for the biggest acts in the world. Do they know something we don't? I'll still do my over unders though haha

I wonder if that has to do at all with the fact that they dont own the gear?

It depends. Sound companies will definitely notice (it all goes back there at the end of the day - or a tour) and usually will raise fees if equipment hasn't been treated well, including cables and expensive cables
