haha we use them! i keep my alarm clock plugged in at all times, and then when i get ready to do my hair my blow dryer, straightener and possibly a curling iron...and alot of times when im in my cabin in the afternoon getting ready for dinner i charge my mp3 player. so i guess it just depends on the person. =) thats a total of 5 for just me every afternoon. and then my sister always plugs something in of hers.. =)
