I wish to charge up my Nintendo DS. It isn’t asking much.

And I have only one space left on the port.

I wish to fit the power adaptor into that remaining space: the one untouched. 

But because of the shape of it, I cannot. There is conflict. Could you not be shaped vertically, I retort?

But “NO” it shouts, “I wish to be here“

So I am forced to rearrange every other plug, just to accommodate this one. Inconsiderate prick. 

“This is needlessly annoying,” I say, shaking my head. “Why are you so greedy, oh dear me, oh dear.”

Succumbing to its greed, half of it still sticking out anyway, I am exposed to an imminent explosion at the mercy of my next switch flick.
