Ah yup! The French one is exactly what I was thinking of. I didn't realize that there are different outlets in different EU countries. That's gotta be annoying when traveling.

It's impossible to short the US ones too. Plugs only go in one way if they're polarized, or if they're grounded. Some devices aren't polarized and they can be plugged in right side up, or upside down.

I honestly don't travel too much but I don't imagine it would be a big deal.

Pretty much all phone chargers use the smaller version plug that fits in almost all outlets in Europe.

And the modern bulkier plugs usually have both a hole in the buttom to fit french outlets and the clip things to fit other European outlets.
