Twitter user @justbasicdave appears to be the mastermind behind the prank. He was waiting on his flight to London when he got the brilliant idea and document it for all the world to see.

The user posted several videos of people trying to plug their electronics in the wall, to no avail. Apparently one prank victim did not find it funny when they found out he was the culprit.

People on Twitter, however, found the prank totally priceless — probably because they didn’t have a dead phone at an airport. But many agreed that the prankster was particularly evil.
Dave, this is evil.
I love it. https://t.co/WEFUEXhlbc

Luckily, it doesn’t seem like anyone was too annoyed or angry with him, though we can all agree more outlets would probably be at the top of most travelers’ airport wish lists.
