Ask LJ
Is there an expression that describes trying to take one thing and inadvertently dragging along many things attached to or entangled with that thing? I feel like there ought to be some common word or phrase for it, but nothing springs to mind.

Hmm. Katamaring is a handy idea, but I think of that as more about amassing a growing collection of things.
I'm thinking of something like a jumble of cables, where their entanglement makes it difficult to pull out just one.
