I wouldn't say it's never happened to me but 99% of the time it works. I just look at the idents, face it right way up, and shove it in. Unless I'm drunk or it's dark, I've never been able to relate.

Overall not a huge deal to get it wrong occasionally, but to lie that you've never attempted to plug a USB in the wrong way up is insane.
