An annoying tangle!

I know I wound them up neatly, I know I put them carefully into their case, I know I put the case away safely.  So WHY are my headphone wires still tangled up in a most annoying way.

It's enough to make you not want to listen to music.....!

I suppose I should be just happy that I found them, and forgive them for being so annoying.  And it's only myself that I am punishing, so I will have patience and unwind them....
