I'll have to look through some old photos as I have worked in a country where all the construction tools were missing their power cords and the wires would be wrapped around a pair of nails. I'll not name the country as I hope they have advanced a great deal since my last visit 36 years ago.
I've seen ribbon cable collages that looked like a rat's nest as well. We're all different and I'm kind of a grumpy old man when it comes to keeping cables neatly laced down.
