It was implied, you less than fucking useless dipshit. "it dangles where I
don't want it to dangle."

No he did not, dumbfuck. Go back and read it again.

If you weren't such a fucking idiot you would have told him that in the
first place without anyone being needed to kick your only fucking neuron
into gear, hey. And if you weren't such a fucking idiot, you fucking idiot,
you would have realised that the _easiest_ way to fix the problem is to grab
the cable at the point where he doesn't mind it dangling, give it a 180
degree twist in his hand and tape the fucking loop.

You lost the first time you came up with a fuckwitted idea, you whacking
great gallah. You've already had more than your fair share of shots at
fucking it up so you get no more.

I'll leave you with the idea that you also neglected to check with him what
he actually meant by "shielded". I'd explain the reasons why you ought to
have asked but your only fucking neuron is overworked as it is. Any more
pressure and it'll forget to keep your anal sphincter slammed shut.
