In the last sixty years, I've unplugged many an AC cord, but I've
yet to 'leave parts of the plug' in the outlet! I hope you mean by

Rather than grasping the plug near the outlet and gently but firmly
unplugging it?

Just wondering.

I was wondering about that also, I have never heard of anything breaking off
in the outlet!

It sure does sound like the OP is pulling the cord and not the plug.



LOL... creeping senility is a problem, but that's one thing I haven't
done. The prong of the left side of 2 plugs now, have been left in the
wall outlet... pulling on the plug normally.
