Many years ago I worked doing cleaning and maintenance at a police department and a co worker did the city hall building and was always having ground pins breaking from the cord plug so I would replace them for him.
I always asked him if he was yanking the cord to unplug it “No” was always the answer... until one night I walked over looking for him and just as I was opening the door to the offices, there he was giving the cord a hard tug from the other side of the room- yup, not surprised at all.
