It's not so bad, they only do it once.

Not really, I did it several times....guess my parents started putting tape over the outlets when I was kid because if it would fit, I would put it in the sockets 
Maybe that's part of my problem today... |

Yeah, stupid plugs! (The only problem is that almost every countries have different plugs...)
UK plugs are HUGE! I wonder how powerbars look like there,..

Hmmm... They 110V for Canada... They're far from reality I think. In two different areas, I get constant 125V. I guess that's why my japanese PS1 heats so much. |

Yeah - the Dutch/German one seems to be the worst. While there, I have seen so many dmaged outlets, and even things slide right out of the socket while in use... Some times sending up sparks. |

Is it just me or it shouldn't be that much difficult to put the thing upside down... or are they holding it so that they can release a v2.0... "a new and improved version".

Welcome DeathTears...
Considering that who ever wired my house decided to put about 40% of the outlets in "upside down" with the standard outlets... I am guessing you could do the same with these, too. |
