Probably irrelevant to most here, as we're mostly old retirees, but this 
is the way to roll up a cord.  When I ran cleaning crews, I stressed two 
things, rolling up cords properly, and never using abrasives on 
porcelain fixtures, the latter being a fireable offense, as I described 
it as, "willful destruction of company property."

I used to tell my guys that I wouldn't hold it against them if they had 
to ask me multiple times to demonstrate how to roll up the cords 
properly.  I had learned this at 18 from my 17 YO rhythm guitar player, 
in reference to microphone cables.  It instantly made sense because I 
knew about the half twist on the Möbius strip, and the difference 
between a square knot and granny knot.  That is all.
