Edit 1: I’m attaching the image again. If there’s still no photo, blame Jerboa and not the alcohol I’ve consumed.

Edit 3: edit 2 is gone. However, an imgur link should now be here!

Edit 4: I promise the photo of some plugs does not contain erotic material (unless you have very specific and abnormal fetishes). I can’t find the button to tell that to imgur, though. You can blame that on the alcohol.

Edit 5: s/done/some/g

Edit 6: I regret mentioning the dartboard, which was a safe distance below these sockets, and seems to be distracting people from the fact that one’s the wrong way up. I’ve now replaced the imgur link with a direct upload now I’m back on my desktop the next day.

    This post is still making me mildly infuriated so I’ll allow it.

      I guess they’re above a dartboard in a pub. Maybe I’ll look around.

    There’s no dartboard in your photo? Needs context, and why is it office bright and painted in a pub? The infuriation from this post gets sweeter and sweeter.

      One of them’s upside down. That on its own is enough to make them mildly infuriating. The distance from the dartboard wasn’t a concern as the sockets were just below the ceiling, and the dartboard was dartboard-height. I wouldn’t say the environment’s particularly bright - UK sockets are typically brilliant white, and the PVC conduit is also very white, but they’re both a long way from overexposed in the photo.

        The plugs being upside down is a good idea for awkward shaped plugs since it’s so close to the ceiling.

    Imgur no longer renders galleries properly on mobile. I only see one photo and I’m not downloading the Imgur app just so I can see it - i think Imgur was enshittified well before Reddit was.

      Imgur also loads a ridiculous amount of scripts from 3rd party sites. Totally unnecessary when the point is to just display an image.

      There is only one photo. The left pair of sockets is upside down.

    I feel these sockets may have been a practical choice for power supplies that extend too far up or down. This approach gives the best of both worlds for them to be able to plug in whatever is needed. Why are they in the ceiling above a dart board? No clue…
