Out of laziness or forgetfulness, many of us make the mistake of leaving our phone and computer chargers plugged in without using them. Be aware that this can cause a fire, consume electricity unnecessarily and wear out equipment prematurely.
Is it safe to leave your charger plugged into an empty socket? This is an eternal question for many of us.
