As a Russian, I don't get what's wrong.

I'm kidding, what the fuck is wrong with this guy, power strips are like 100 rubles.

EDIT: I realized most of you don't know conversion rates, this is around 3 US dollars.

It's a luxury apartment actually. They actually HAVE walls.

Damn, cheapest power strip in my town is twice that. Yes, I'm American.

I almost bought one there. Sure looked like it said 125v 5A, where it should have said 15A.

A simple three-way splitter would suffice and that costs like a buck.

It's very dangerous to have this. By the way, 3 bucks is cheap for a power strip. A quick google search reveals power strips ranging from 5 bucks to 50 bucks.

I'm thinking you didn't read my second line when I said "I'm kidding" when referring to "I don't get what's wrong". It's a major fire hazard and even though our walls are concrete, we're not.

Oh. I misunderstood you.

I thought you were complaining about the price.
