I don't know if this is only an issue with normal guitars or if it also stretches over into those niche replicas that a few people use for "IRL" bands, but guitar straps are like the musical industry equivelent of a Rubicks Cube.

I'm pretty sure after trying to do it the logical way we've all been forced to take our strap off it's hooks at some stage, just to untwist it back into normal alignment, right? Well it only occurred to me the other day... How in Satan's name does that happen in the first place?

Actually, the Rubicks Cube simile doesn't apply, because they can actually be solved (behind the backs of asian teenagers no less); however, guitar straps are a mystery that once twisted cannot be untwisted. Like if you had a pair of socks you could put on by hand, but needed scissors to take them off.

Screw you guitar straps, you're on notice!
