I've encountered a number of outlets in American airports that should be replaced due to wear. They have very little friction on the prongs after millions of uses.
Life pro tip: bend the prongs a little to give your device more grip if you encounter outlets like this.
Pro tip: bend the wall where the outlet is to assert dominance.
