Hook

Have you ever owned a smartphone charging cable that was ten feet long? At first, it feels like pure freedom. You can lie on the sofa, roll over to the floor, and keep scrolling without unplugging. But by day three, that ten-foot cord has wrapped itself around the leg of your coffee table, trapped your dog, and gathered dust bunnies under the couch. What began as a helpful tool has quietly turned into an annoying tripwire.

Or consider that loose thread dangling from the hem of your favorite jacket. Is that thread still a part of your jacket, or has it become garbage? If someone tugs it, does the whole coat move, or does the string just unravel into your hand?
