Hmmm. Seems the solution is to have an outlet unit where the top
outlet is ground-side up and the bottom outlet is ground-side down.
That way nothing could fall onto the top plug yet no matter which
way your right-angle plug is oriented you would have a choice
as to which one you selected.

Does any electrical manufacturer make such an item?
