Aggravates the shit out of me.
I've heard the reasoning from electricians.
Buncha bullshit.

Maybe trolling, but they're supposed to be installed like that. That way if the plug pulls out some and you drop a knife or screwdriver on it,the first contact made is with the ground pin, no electrocutions just a funny smell. People only put them In the other way because it looks like a face so it looks "right".

Thats been my experience as well. At least a high % of them!
I'm more worried about the metal piece hanging from the prongs. Can anyone say heating element/ fire starter?
Yeah...house is burning down by dinner.
Outlets “upside down “ are so if the plug partially comes out nothing can touch both prongs. It will lay on the ground and not cause any trouble.
No, I'll still swing down and have a 50/50 chance of hitting the hot and blowing shit apart.
That's not a heater, that's an instant trip.
And yes, normal licensed electricians put the switched recep on the bottom, and ground down because it really doesn't matter which way the ground faces.
The shit I saw in Williston from "electricians" that came from states without a formal licensing program scared the hell out of me. Makes me wonder how some places dont have constant fires.
Seen it happen at work, stainless scoop slipped off the shelf and landed on a shop vac plug half way out of the wall.
Walked in the department during lunch and smelt burn.
Shop vac plug was smoking and was like goo and smoking.
Democrats!

Total Bull Shit or TBS, not what you're sayin' but the reason for the stupid reg. If it was such a fucking problem they should have required all new installations use a twist locking system. How many times in a fucking year will there be any discernible difference?Maybe trolling, but they're supposed to be installed like that.
