Oh, it happens even where there is only one cable involved, as you
inevitably grab the ten footers by the middle and have to find the ends.

It doesn't help that there are a mix of different cables in that mix, so
even when I do find the small end, it's often for Android when I want to
plug in an iPhone and vice versa (or even micro-USB or mini-USB on some).

Luckily the industry is standardizing on one cable end for the time being.
