Ground as the top of the outlet usually ends up with people breaking the top of the face plate out and/or even bending the ground prong on the cord. This happens because most retards lift up as they pull the plug out of the wall. In every single office/hotel/etc I've ever been in where there's a cleaning staff and wall outlets with the grounds at the top, the face plates are all cracked and chipped right above the ground hold. The only ones that are a bit resistant to this are the metal face plates, but however the fuck is using them is so unbelievably a fucking retard that t hey pull so hard it fucks up the inside of the outlet, bends the top above the gro9und, and of course bends the plug all in one go. I'm sure you know well who would be the employees of a cleaning service and how high and IQ they would need for such a illustrious career choice. It seems it is about the same requirement for being a house wife as they end up doing the same thing. I believe the code writers know all this and are simply putting the outlets ground-up so that their lobbyists the electricians can get more work.

The old made up retarded example of some super rare occurrence where something crosses the top of the two prongs when halfway out is seriously the height of ass faggotry fear mongering. If that is such a concern then it is equally a concern that the object falling on the outlet plug will sift sideways and slide to the side connecting the ground with one of the prongs still ending up with a short.
