We could just flip our outlet upside down and be sort of safer, but we don't because the little face ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Funny thing is, the outlets in my house are installed with the ground prong up, unless they're installed horizontally.

That's probably because that's the recommended way to install them for safety, and that's why they're installed that way in hospitals, but people install them upside down in houses because they like the face

Chicago--a city very paranoid about fire--has some relatively unique fire codes, like all electrical wiring in a structure must run through conduit, and outlets are either typically, or are required to be, installed horizontally.
