Be Grateful for American Plugs!

It may sound like a strange title, for I never thought I would be so jealous of American plugs, but it is true...I am green with envy. What is the big deal about American plugs, you ask? Well, you have one basic kind of plug and outlet. "C", on the other hand, thinks it is beneficial to have at least 3 different kinds of plugs and outlets. Let's name them "Frustration A, Frustration B, Frustration C (A, B, C for short)". For example, each room has one set of outlets (which may include room for 1-4 plugs). I think our apartment building was built when appliances were rare and people didn't need many plugs (it looks like it was built 100 years ago...). Our kitchen has 2 As, and 2 Bs, but only in one little corner, so all of our appliances can only be in that one corner, and tough luck if you have 3 appliances that needs to be plugged that needs an A outlet! In our living room, the only outlet is behind the TV. I mean, who wants to put a lamp in another corner, or maybe a electric fan since most people don't have AC's? Oh, and our one vanity area...has the infamous C plug, but goodness...the water heater is plugged in that one. We have tried extension cords but for some reason, they do not make extension cords for C plugs, so the water heater has to fit directly into the outlet. So, instead, if I need to plug something in for my hair, I do it in a different room. Anyways, next time you plug something in, be grateful. I guess I should be grateful to have any kind of plug -- I'll work on that :)
