Beef Story #99

Author: Reuben

Okay, so my newest beef is with electrical plugs that aren't designed to share space with other plugs. You've probably seen it before--you buy a cool gadget from Best Buy and you go to plug it in only to find out that there's not enough space on any convenient wall outlets since you've already got two surge protectors full of plugs there waiting to explode. After the difficult task of deciding which appliance/computer component/video game system to unplug, you find out that the plug for your newest toy doesn't fit anywhere unless you remove almost ALL the plugs because the plug is so FREAKIN' HUGE and takes up like a million spaces. Don't they know that we've got other things to plug into the wall and don't have the space for these huge plugs? At least Nintendo got it right with the Gamecube because they made the plug normal size and the huge part is far enough away where you don't have to worry about it taking up space. As for the rest of you electronic companies...GET IT STRAIGHT.
