I am not sure how electricians do it?  They always seem to put that receptacle right where the furniture should sit.  Want to plug in your alarm clock or bedside lamp?  It will probably be behind the bed.  Pushing furniture up against an electrical cord can bend and break the cord.  This is not only a fire risk but also can ruin your electronics.   A flat plug means the cords of your electronics will not be bent.  Running an extension cord from behind furniture also avoids the need to move furniture when you have something new to plug in. You can Rogify your life by picking up these simple extension cords.
