@lizzard @megatronicthronbanks @timonsku what generally happens is that the tab gets slightly dislodged inwards by accident (especially on multi standard sockets often used with other plug types), then the first time an actual Schuko plug gets used, the tab doesn't slide literally, but gets trapped below the plug, and if the plug is forced in the tab gets crushed between the plug and the socket. May be a quality issue with lower/multi standard sockets that make it quite common here, though.

@cvtsi2sd On a recent holiday in Italy I was happy to see that my C plug fit into the L socket with its third hole. I had to force it a bit so I thought I'm doing something dangerous. But that page says they are made to be compatible... so... phew :-)
