US electrical plugs are the worst.

I still regularly manage to electrocute myself on those death designed shit plugs that allow uounto touch love metal if you're not very careful

Then the "Gravity will pull your plug out of the wall" design which is just amazing too.

Then the "bends by breathing at it" strength

I could go on, but you get it.

And yet i haven't had those problems. If your plugs fall out then the springs in your outlet are old, get a nee outlet.

That confirms the shitty design. Decent outlets don't require springs to keep plugs from falling out.

the springs are also how the metal make contact. something has to hold them in place and make contact.
