Sorry saw Tornado and air defence got me to think Jet, the maddest thing I have seen is a guy around 2 m (6ft 7 to none metric) climbed out of a Hawk, if he left via the ejection seat at least his lower half would be in the jet!

Tomorrow is Twelfth Night, and traditionally Christmas decorations should be removed before midnight.
And since Herself is off duty tomorrow I will take them down today. I told her it's so "it doesn't disturb her valuable day off" (which will involve remaining in pyjamas till noon, shouting at the TV, and snoring, probably) but it's really because we are different people.
I will take them down carefully, rolling strings of beads, card holders, sparkly stuff, lights, etc. around cardboard tubes before putting them in boxes.
She will pull them down as quickly as possible and throw them in a box.
My way, I get an easy life next December because I can just unroll stuff and up it goes. Her way, it will be one huge knot which will have acquired a life of it's own and actively resist unravelling.
So ... which type are you? "Plan ahead" or "Rush through"?
I think I can guess for some of you, but it would be interesting to see.

I thought the tradition is to take them down on the 6th?
As for tidying away Christmas tree lights and "strings" of tinsel - indeed, any cable/rope/string etc - it makes no difference how carefully it is wrapped and put away. There is Universal Law which states that: A rope (cable, etc) left to itself will tie itself in untangle-able knots. And that's a fact.

Nope, all you have to do is establish your dominance over the cable/rope/string etc., and it will remain as you put it provided it is undisturbed (by your SO, cat, whatever). Once a less dominant person touches it, it will revert to the "Big Ball 'o Knots" within nanoseconds.
My cables remain tidy, my strings in neat balls.
Cable ties can help here.
Strangely, Chrome's spelling suggester thinks that should be "my strings in meatballs."

I was bitten by a radioactive teddy bear back in my Cat-5 flood wiring days, that may have caused it.

Right with the basic principles, but waaay too short a tail to actually hitch the rope for storage. (And a gasket hitch is really only sensible when the end is fixed to something.)

Her in doors, has enough of the Christmas decorations by boxing day. So they are removed then or the day after.
But she takes her time (as I'm not allowed to help as it ruins things apparently.) and they are put away carefully.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

Would you like to swap?
Mine is of the "I've finished with that, drop it here" school of tool management, sadly.

I'm OCD, so I cannot rush through. It is literally impossible for me.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I don't have any decorations, no tree no nothing. Yeah, I'm "that" kind of person.
