IIJM?

“Is It Just Me”  is a semi-reoccurring thought in my mind.  There are moments in my life that are so ridiculous I often stop and wonder if it is just me or if other people also blink twice and look around for their “crazy twin” who might be feeling the same feels. So, because it happens with some frequency, I’m writing about it and “Is It Just Me?” is shortened to become IIJM?

Murphy’s Law.  Sounds legit right? I’m such a law abiding citizen. I don’t even know who Murphy is, but he (or she) wrote some law that I seem to live by without acquiescing.

You see, when I want to plug something in, the prongs are ALWAYS turned the wrong way.  The wide poker thing and the narrow poker thing are ALWAYS on the wrong side. So when I try to push it into the outlet it is turned wrong.  Every. Single. Time.

Blender. Iron. Computer. Power cords.  No matter.  Wrong direction.  So sometimes I plan on it being wrong and turn the cord before I put it into the outlet.  NOPE!  It would have been right that time. AAUGH!

  1. It is the same for me in the USA, but I found the solution! I moved to Pakistan where there is no difference in the direction you plug into an outlet! Even the American plugs I have go into the power strips we use either direction. :>)
