I've seen so many sockets that were worn down over time from the weight of the plug just hanging out from it, usually straight since most aren't angled. (because there's no strain relief either, which a recessed socket would provide). So you have plugs that are usually exposing parts of the plug thanks to gravity. Yes, it can be fixed by replacing the socket, but it's just such a terrible design. (The 240V socket isn't much better - if I was wiring my house for 240V, I guess I'd have to use that one to be up to code, but I'd really consider importing some Schuko sockets instead)
