Airport passengers travelling through on holiday have been caught out by bored pranksters.
Travellers seeking somewhere to charge their gadgets would have been pleased to spot a free outlet, as many are often taken by other travellers.
However, on closer inspection. they are fake and are instead stickers showing a plug socket.
People who have been tricked when trying to plug their chargers in have expressed their hatred and embarrassment.
One Twitter user who was caught by the prank tweeted: “Whoever put up this fake sticker of an open outlet at the airport, you are now my enemy for life.”
The tweet, which has over 183,000 retweets, enraged other passengers who expressed their sympathy.
A user wrote: “Why would someone do that?!” A reply to his question was: “Some people are just mean.”
Some decided to be pedantic about the tweet: “That’s not a fake sticker. It is a very real sticker of a fake open outlet.”
Others were angry at the person tweeting for trying to take up both outlets.
One remarked: “But also why didn’t you even try to use the lower one so someone else can use the upper one if it was real.”
Another user wrote: “Karma too… for you trying to plug that into the top outlet and block the lower one.”
Others stuck up for the man, saying he obviously tried the bottom one first and it was just for the sake of the photograph.
Some stickers were even placed on rubbish bins and high up on walls with others admitting to being caught out.
Images revealed stickers scratched in rage at the fake sockets after falling victim to the prank.
It isn’t the first time this has caught passengers out, as a viral video emerged last year of people being caught out.
A young woman walked over with her plug and tried to put it into the socket, only to feel the sticker and realise it didn’t have the correct holes.
Many loved the prank with one person nothing: “This is so cruelly amusing. I love it.”
The person filming later explained that the woman caught out in the video “didn’t find it amusing” when she knew he was the culprit.
People wanting to catch them out can buy the stickers easily online for less than £10.
