I must have gotten pale when some festival organizer handed me the end of a cable with a male plug. 'Your electricity supply, here you go!'

Me: '... ???'

Organizer, still waving the cable end around: 'Just use an adapter!' (he barely managed to omit the 'stupid woman' in his answer ...)

I don’t get what you were supposed to do with a plug and an adapter.

Then call the cops, then try to find a fire alarm to pull so you can evacuate the venue.
