      I kid you not, three attempts has been my experience every feckin time until this one magical moment I just announced.

    It’s memes like this that makes manufacturers think it doesn’t matter anyway, and suddenly start making devices where the USB sockets are actually upside down. And let me tell you, once you’ve had to deal with one of those, you won’t be laughing anymore.

      My old Lenovo tablet’s charging plug has the port upside down, also the tablet itself has the micro USB upside down because of this, so my cable always had to do a little twist when I wanted to charge any other micro USB devices with it.

      When I got my USB-C phone, I just swapped the plugs around.

      I’ve never laughed over this. It’s always been constant rage.

    The secret is to do two practice attempts before you really try to insert it.

      Yeah I make sure my cable & device know that I’m not super serious the first two tries, so it doesn’t count.

      True but I usually do it in the dark and can’t see the female end clearly anyway even if I try to use the braille method (feeling the raised USB logo)

    I hate this meme. The side of the plug that has the USB logo on it is the top. Or if its sideways, it’s usually the right side. Once you know that you get it right first time over 90% of the time.

        I’ve had an upside down pc for a couple months now and you’d be surprised how much easier it is to plug in anything
