Is there a "right" way for wall outlets to face?


There does not seem to be any rule on this. While the convention is
with the ground down looking like two eyes and a mouth, I suggest ground up
is better. In the event that something gets dropped onto a plug it would
hit the ground first. Since accidental contact is much more likely to come
from above and not below, I believe that is a safer arrangement. I also
believe it is not material in real live. I put mine in ground up and I
usually switch any that I work on.
