the law of dangling cords

Whenever you have a cord, rope, wire, string, etc. on your person that is dangling as you walk or move, then the dangling object has a tendency to get caught up or wrapped around another object in your path.

As I transported the DVD player from the bedroom to the living room, the cord got wrapped around the bathroom doorknob. That is what you call the law of dangling cords.
