SCREAM!

(Context for Americans: until relatively recently mains appliances in the UK came without a plug—you had to fit your own. Also they're fused and have to carry 230vac, so getting it wrong is a BAD idea. And this is Very Not Right Indeed.)

@cstross Let's hope anyone trying to follow this (how?) will also manage to get hold of a plug like that, because at least then they'll be entirely unable to insert it.

Then again have had an installer show up once and so utterly terrify me with his blatant disregard for safety (wiring things up very obviously incorrectly without turing the circuit off did not endear me to him) that I took over because I'm certain I was more competent, I'm sure people will find a way...

@vidar @cstross I’m not sure some of them will. So many people are conditioned to and happy to accept any authority rather than think for themselves.
