Hmm, Samsung users, What do you think will happen if your charger is plugged like this?

One prong plugged and other prong is exposed.


What do you think will happen? 

A) Get electric shock
B) Nothing
C) Damage the plug or may cause some SERIOUS injury (including explosion,sparks,fire)
D) Others (comment)

But what if you accidentally plugged with one prong and it's so dark in the room that you can't plug it properly, Won't it cause a electric shock? (if barefeet and any of body is touching a wall)

A big NO, that's unsafe and will cause fire hazards.

Hello FloppaJJS,

Thanks for sharing your safety precautions and awareness here.

I am hoping that other members will get the idea and correctly put it to good use. For best results, we recommend using an authentic Samsung charger and avoiding using extension cords for any of your home appliances, especially your Samsung Galaxy devices.

Extension cords are a common and convenient way to bring power to electrical devices. But used without proper caution, they can become fire hazards and pose risks to your personal safety.
