   Most people I know don't bother to unplug the A.C. end.  They   
   leave the cable plugged in so that they can just plug the   
   other end into the phone.   
      
   And of course I have noticed over at the State Fair they have   
   charging stations where people can charge their phones if they   
   get low.  That is just the phone end of the cable dangling out   
   of the wall box.  The cable is frequently very beat up.   
      
   I saw one man walk up, plug in his phone, stand there for a minute   
   and unplug.  I'm not sure how much of a charge he got.
