Cables Drove me Nuts

Now I know that many people when they buy a new television they will go for all the wireless systems that they can fin. However, I was not like everyone else and I opted to get a television that had a ton of ports that I could hook my items into. The problem was that I forgot how many items that I had to hook into the television and surround sound and everything else. That led to me having a fun Friday night in trying to get these all hooked up.

The reason that I had a fun Friday night is because I forgot to label all of the cables when I was taking them off. That meant that I had about twenty cables all of different sizes and lengths to hook into my television and surround sound, but no labels as to what was for what. To make matters worse even though they were color coordinated, some of the cables were so old like for example my scart cable that the color had started to wear off! Did you know that they call a scart cable a scart kabel in the Netherlands, it doesn't differ that much from english. Now for many people they would have went step by step in getting the cables arranged, but for me I decided to rip them all out.

Let me tell you, that is a mistake that I will never make again. Anytime that I deal with cables I always label them, even if I think that they are wrong. At least then, I will not have to worry about messing up the wires anymore and spending a Friday night inside the house.

With my new sim only subscription from a Dutch company and a new smartphone (which is cable less), I had no problems at all.
