Why is it, whenever I have to plug in a USB cable, I put the right side in, it doesn’t go in. You turn it and it doesn’t go in. You turn it back..and voila it goes in!

WHY?!!! Why can you not take it the first time!!!

EVERY FUCKING TIME

This is always my biggest bug bear with films or dramas where they need to copy data off a laptop... the usb goes in right first time, every time!!
I can accept the ridiculous plots, insane coincidences and the way the hero never has to go to the loo or stop to eat, but the usb, really? Way too unrealistic 😂

Yep, every time for me as well!!!

Exactly! It’s just the law that you must do it 3 times

Same for me! 😂

The first time you try inserting the USB cable the little person who lives in the USB slot is asleep and doesn't react.
The second time is your mistake.
The third time the little person is ready and pulls the USB cable in.

I mark mine so I know which way up they go and this still happens.

…it is definitely a shady conspiracy. Allegedly my kindle and iPad should use the same charging leads in practice of course they don’t, I have to use two separate ones, ahhhhhhhhhh!! 🤦🏼‍♀️
