@ai6yr @dan613 Even as a young nerd, I could figure out what was going on, and so switched the plug to be the "right" way to eliminate the risk.
Except that a few weeks later, after someone unplugged the lamp in order to vacuum the room, it would end up back the way it had been.
The more I tried to convince my parents that this was extremely dangerous, the more they were convinced I was just being alarmist. Eventually, I got old and wise enough to just buy them a new lamp.
