Bureau of Minor Sufferings — Official Filing

Official Certificate: Insufficient Cable Length for Recumbent Device Operation

Formally Processed · Entered Into Federal Record · Certificate Issued

The Bureau of Minor Sufferings classifies Insufficient Cable Reach as an Infrastructural Design Failure. The outlet is there. The bed is here. The cable spans the distance between them minus approximately fourteen inches. You must choose: comfort or battery. You cannot have both.

About This Filing Category

Bureau Domestic Infrastructure Analysis has measured the average distance between the nearest bedroom power outlet and the optimal device-usage position (centre of pillow) at approximately 4.2 feet. The standard charging cable measures 3.3 feet. The resulting 0.9-foot deficit, which the Bureau terms the Comfort Gap, forces the user into one of three compromised positions: the Floor Charge (device charges on the floor), the Edge Dangle (user lies at bed's edge), or the Extension Cord (aesthetically and spatially hostile).

Example Bureau Findings (Preview)
§Finding 1 (§6.1.a): The claimant's charging infrastructure provides a cable reach of approximately 3.3 feet, while the distance to the desired usage position measures approximately 4.2 feet, creating a Comfort Gap of 0.9 feet.
§Finding 2 (§6.1.b): The architectural placement of the power outlet is inconsistent with modern device-usage patterns, constituting an Infrastructure Design Failure attributable to pre-smartphone-era electrical planning.
§Finding 3 (§6.1.c): The claimant has adopted compensatory behaviours (sleeping on the bed's edge, using a secondary charging location) that the Bureau classifies as Adaptive Discomfort.

Your certificate will contain findings specific to your actual incident. The above are representative examples.

Frequently Asked Questions

Would a longer cable fix this?
The Bureau documents the existing condition, not theoretical remedies. However, Bureau Infrastructure records indicate that a 6-foot cable resolves 94% of documented Comfort Gap cases.
Does this cover extension cords being unsightly?
The Bureau acknowledges the aesthetic impact of compensatory infrastructure but processes it under the Domestic Visual Pollution category rather than the Charging Infrastructure filing.
Can I file on behalf of someone else?
Yes. Use Gift mode — toggle it at the top of the filing form. Enter their name and describe what happened.
Is this a real legal document?
No. This is satirical parody. The Bureau is not a government agency. Certificates carry no legal authority. See our Terms.
