I hate our TP outlets, not as much as the arc fault breakers that false trip, but it seems like unless the plug you are putting in is perfectly straight, you can't get anything to go into the plugs. I could see if we had little kids that I would be more concerned, but even that can't protect against everything.
When I was, let's say, old enough to know better, but not old enough to stay home by myself (maybe 8 years old), I was told that "before you (my sister and I) go to bed, please turn off the Christmas lights." Well, one light was plugged in behind a piano and I couldn't reach it (I had no idea that there was a switch on the cord). Anyway, I grabbed a butter knife and started prying the plug out. A few tries and BAM! Big flash of light, and I got knocked backwards and passed out.
My parents still have the knife and the melted notch in it. If they would have had TP outlets back in about 1980, it still wouldn't have protected "creative" kids like me. LOL
