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

The Best power strips are the ones that have two rows, have outlets going in both orientations, and even a couple spaced off to allow for bigger bricks.

I have a strip that is literally just 6 mini extention cords. Every plug fits no matter what!
