Indeed. It's a well known fact that USB plugs have three orientations - the up way, the down way, and the initial quantum state that is the wrong way.

Incidentally, the "S" in "USB" actually stands for Shroedinger.

I always thought the "S" was for "Superposition", ie the original orientation is incorrect but after having tried the other orientation it is found to actually be correct.

I'd also like to nominate my curtain draw cords for a similar phenomena. No matter how many times I pull down on the first string I catch, or even try to dupe it by fiddling for the other one based on previous experience... I always end up pulling on the string to close when they are closed, and open when they are already open.

Everything. Fecking. Time.

I'm the same, it's taken me ages to work out why i turn the key the wrong way every time I try to open the car door.

It's because the Porsche is right to lock, left to unlock, and the MX-5 ... isn't.
