Short Take

Have you ever had to plug something in an outlet in the dark?

I always am too lazy to fully turn on the lights, especially if I'm tired. So I end up feeling around for the outlet, once I find it, I try to plug in whatever it is that needs to be plugged. I can never seem to get it on the first, or fifth try for that matter. I can't align the damn prongs with the holes in the outlet. So I do what every idiot would do, I start to feel the holes with my fingers. Once I believe I have an idea as to how the prongs should fit, I try it once more, and it STILL doesn't work. So now I really become stupid, and I try putting in the prongs while feeling the holes with my fingers.

In the end, it always turns out the safer, smarter and quiker solution would be to turn on the lights. Once the lesson is learnt and I do. Just a few days later, the same dilemma comes back and in my arrogance, the process beings anew.

I've done this a few times and it freaked the shit out of me every time. I've never gone to the step of putting my fingers there as I'm plugging it in, as that didn't seem like a very smart move.
