You see the USB symbol that's supposed to mean "this side up" but you just don't trust it and you don't want to break something. So, you flip. And fumble. And flip back. Apple really tries to muck you up by putting the Apple logo on the bottom of the USB plug. Your eye catches that flashy logo and you can't resist thinking "this side up". After all, who puts logos on the bottom of things? I speak from experience when I say your frustration with yourself grows exponentially each time you fall for the slick trick.
