Try to plug in this hair dryer

Here is a picture showing an attempt to try to plug our hair dryer into an electrical outlet in a hotel room. The outlet is just below the mirror over the sink. You can't plug it in up-side-down (as shown) because the mirror is in the way. You can't plug it in right-side-up either because the wide prong on the plug won't fit into the narrow slot in the electrical outlet. The electrical outlet was installed up-side-down.

Design suggestion

When you design an object, you need to consider the environment that it is used in.
