Our apartment has only 2 prong outlets. Other than my dorm room in college, I've only lived in places with 2 prong outlets. So I'm rather familiar with cheater plugs.

One great annoyance to me is that they make the plug stick out an extra inch and a half from the wall. Does anyone know if someone makes a short extension cord style (like less than a foot long) 2 prong to 3 prong adapter? This would make furniture placement easier (not to mention hiding outlets from The Boy.)

I know that this is not necessarily the safest thing in the world, but tell that to my landlord and/or the people who make the safety regulations.

Heck, you could even have one of the little screw tabs on the extension. I try to use those whenever possible, which has caused its own problems, as they have a tendency to pull on the plugs and make them rather unstable in the socket.
