The large, flat British plug seems to follow the 'perversity of nature' rule and drop 'butter side down' with the pins in the palm of your hand most of the time - thereby providing the shocking experience which is deemed adequate to need mitigation.

It needs mitigation because consumers complained about it and often tried to reject the product as 'unsafe'. It's not only our lovely 13 A plug that drops 'butter side down', the Continental Schuko plug and its relatives do it.
