Cable management fail turned into a 45 minute desk disassembly

Last Tuesday I decided to finally fix the rat's nest of cables under my standing desk. I had this great plan to route everything through a single cable tray mounted underneath. I spent 10 minutes unscrewing the desk legs from the frame to access the underside, only to realize I bought the wrong size zip ties. Then I dropped my phone into the gap between the desk and the wall and had to take the whole thing apart again. The best part was when I found an old French fry under the monitor that must have been there since 2021. Has anyone else found random food months after building a desk?

The fried and fused Cheeto is a whole vibe though. It's funny how we always seem to find the most random trash right when we're trying to be organized.

haha the french fry is killing me. i pulled my desk out to vacuum under it once and found an ancient cheeto that had somehow fused to the carpet. pretty sure it was from like 2018.
