Only a retarded company would put two very important keystrokes close to each other, that do very VERY different things.

If you're not using a Mac, look away now....

The command key (aka the Apple key - that funny symbol on the left of the spacebar)....

well, why oh frikken why is the keyboard sequence to close a window Cmd-W and to quit the application Cmd-Q

Sooooooooooooooo many times (and of course each time is critical, this time no different) you make a typo and hit Q instead of W and you see the app churning away to close each window and you go noooooooooo.
Cmd-. Cmd-. (normally Cancel, but of course this does sweet Fa in this situation).....arrrgh.

Since 1992 this shit has been this shit.

Please frikken give me a new sequence to quit an app!
/rant

lost 15 very important browser windows. Sob. To make it worse, I have Firefox configured to wipe history etc on delete. Oh, the pain!

shaver plugs are different as they are an isolated electrical socket approved for wetroom use.

Don't know about rules in your country but here rules state that all electrical socket must be installed no closer than 1m from any water source. 1m as it happens is also the standard length of cable manufactures cannot cross when supplying certain items.
