I wish it was 50/50. A lot of the time it wouldn't plug in so I flipped it. Still didn't work so I flipped it back to the original orientation and it magically plugs in.

USB & me: third times the charm!

Can you imagine if it was a triangle with only one correct way to plug it in?

Apologies to the shit alternative universe I just created
