This person thought the cable was made of steel
People should understand that when someone asks for something to be fixed, however valuable it is, it must be handled with the utmost caution. No one on Earth would think that the cable pictured here could hold the weight of that object without breaking.
It should not cross anyone’s mind to think that leaving the device hanging like that is a good idea. It is simply something untenable. Clearly, this “crafty” person didn’t think that the cord or plug would break at some point.
