User: the PC in the area and the mini fridge aren’t getting power, but that they are both plugged in.

I walk in and start following the cords. The computer and the fridge are in the same power strip, and that power strip is plugged into another power strip, which is in turn plugged right back into the first power strip.

Me: They aren’t pulled into the wall.

*Plugs into wall* Computers start powering on.
