The plugs used in the Netherlands, too lazy to look up what type it is.

They're well built, have snug fits, have metal only at the ends to avoid accidents, and I can go on for a while

The worst ones are the US ones that are also used in Canada and Mexico.

They. Suck.... Badly...

I've electrocuted myself on many instances whilst trying to plug something in the dark. They connect with so little focrce that half the time plugs just slip out of the socket because of gravity. Its a shit show
