No Tea Tonight
After a long day at work, it’s nice to unwind on the sofa with your favorite book and a hot cup of aromatic tea. You know, the kind with the sleepy bear in pajamas snoozing away on a rocking chair without a care in the world. The quickest way to get there is with an electric kettle if it will cooperate.

This facepalm can send you into sweet dreams forever if work sapped you of your last brain cells and you reach for the pliers to pull out the lodged prong. If this ever happens to you, turn off the circuit and double-check that it’s off before trying to rescue the outlet. Better yet, call someone with electrical experience.
