Also, since I've already dragged up a two year old thread, the upside down plugs are standard for commercial installations in some places. In residential an upside down plug usually indicates that it is on a switched circuit.

Well today it might but it certainly didn't used to. They used to put all the receptacles in the correct way with the two prongs on the top and the ground on the bottom and now they seem to have switched them all upside down.
They can rationalize all they want about something metallic accidentally falling down on a plug that's not pushed all the way in but you're only lowering the risk to a 50% chance but I don't get into or care about all that because it's all just some made-up fairy tale about what may happen under certain ideal conditions which may make it a little bit safer. I'm not going to live my life by those parameters.
I do what works or what works best and often the minimum of what gets the job done. I will put all of my receptacles in the old way.
Hack, what would someone do if they saw a receptacle that didn't have the third ground prong?? Do people today even realize those exist?? This is what's wrong with society today people change things too often and they are not educated enough on the old ways that they think what they're doing now is the way it's supposed to be and the way it is always been! This is hardly true.
