Did you ever walk away from your computer just to have the keyboard wire near your foot causing it to yank out of the usb outlet? I also stepped on the switch on the extension chord multiple times by mistake causing everything in my room to turn off. |

It hurts when you stand on a upturned plug. Other pains include stubbing my toe and smashing my elbow into my hip -.- |

Erm, My computer wires go through my desk and under to my desktop, so I really don't have a problem with any of that. |

Most of my wires are hidden behind the desk. On a side note, I conveniently set up the wires so that a simple unplugging of just a few wires can unplug the entire computer. |

Yes. Just this Monday I tripped over the wire that leads to my cable modem and broke it and I didn't have internet at home for a few days (now it's under the carpet luckily). I also got wireless keyboard and mouse two days ago so I don't really have a lot of problems with wires now since the rest of my wires go under my desk.

I hate the wires behind my computer. I need to organize them one of these days. My modem wires aren't in tip-top shape (I actually have an elastic wrapped around the modem to keep the wires connected into it), so...now and then when that elastic gets loose, I knock out my internet connection with my foot. That's about the only trouble I have with wires. I haven't tripped on any...yet.

Oh yes, I am quite a clumsy person and I have tripped over things before. One time I tripped over my router that has my internet cable attached to my computer, and it broke off. It was a friday night and I was without internet for three days (monday my ISP was closed so I couldn't get it repaired) Quite interesting time it was. |

I keep all the wires behind my desk. Generally all the cables in our house are tied and against walls. |

I have all my wires behind my desk too, but i have two desks side by side with a laptop and router on one, and my computer, speakers, etc on the other. I have so many wires behind there. I have two 4-plug adapters, but they aren't enough for everything i need. |

Yah, but I organized my wires more and I run them along other stuff so they aren't out in the middle of the room. =o |
