When I attempt to plug in a usb cable, why is it always, 100% of the time, upside down on the first try? Every.Damn.Time.

Yes! Now when I am about to plug it in I turn it over.......and it is usually upside down....

Because 100% of the time you are not checking the orientation of the plastic inserts in the cable and jack.

Hey, what the cable does on its own time is none of my business, I just want it to work with minimal hassle when I need it.

The term, test tube babies, refers to children conceived via invitro fertilization. Once implanted in the mother's womb, they develop like any other baby. They have a placenta and umbilical cord, the source of the navel.

There are ethical and religious controversies concerning the procedure.

True test tube babies grown in a test tube and genetically engineered and finished in a lab might not have a belly button.

Correct.

The proper way to connect a USB connector is:

1. Note which way the plastic tongue is oriented on the female connector.
2. On the cable you wish to plug in, note the side of the plug that has the USB symbol. Should also have two holes.
3. Plug side with the holes into the plastic tongue.
4. When that doesn't go, flip the plug around.
5. When that doesn't go, flip the plug around again, and this time it will go in.

My boys before they were old enough to search for porn were browsing INGO every day. It helped form them into the fine young men they are today.

Take a sharpie in a contrasting color and put a dot or two on the side of the housing that is 'up' from your viewpoint

Unless the device is upside down, the side of the plug with the USB symbol on it is always "up".

As @jamil said the location of your tongue is very important. I have found that to be good advice in all facets of life.

Well yeah, you really want to pay attention to the location of your tongue if the device is upside down.

Especially that you have to try at least a few times to insert before...you know.

I think you're looking at this from the wrong perspective. I think I would tend to look at it from the male connector's perspective as I try to fit the male end into...you know.
