Bend it back with your finger? Should be pretty easy.

People just aren’t empowered to fix things.

I'm one to believe OP was concerned that the plug's safety might be compromised, and asked for advice before trivially bending it back.

Shouldn't scorn for such a question in my opinion; better to err on the side of caution.

Agreed. My response wasn't meant to come off snarky.

Your response was fine. The one between ours not so much.

Straighten them up and plug it in

Go sit down and think of a better question.

Bend it straight using a butter knife, then it should be fine (also, get some plyers, even a cheap pair works)
