I'm slightly vexed Verizon Router plug blocks 3+ outlets

These new routers have a terrible plug that not only is so wide that it blocks at least two plugs below it, but actually extends the other direction and blocks the outlet above as well!

the stupidest part of these power strips is that the outlets aren't 90 degrees rotated from the rectangle. like how was this ever supposed to work for anything but skinny little plugs. and don't pretend 20w power adapters are going to go over spec

Who is using these dollar store power strips? A good power bar has intelligent placement of plugs.

Buy the right tool for the job.
