Southern Girl tragedy: Hairdryer blowout

Tom, Joe and Derek...my apologies for being gendercentric with these posts. But lets face it, you guys are going to look great even if your hairdryer poops out, whereas all of us chics are going to be in the fetal position.

Okay so what happens when you use your adaptor/converter for the first time and you do it wrong (RESEARCH how this works. There are a zillion different brands, etc. and I won't be able to help you with yours.  In short, converter goes in to the wall. Adapter goes in to converter. Appliance goes in to the adapter and it all looks ugly and unsafe and you can't count on it working properly even if you follow the rules) and blow up your hairdryer? Have a plan B for your hair because NO hotel will have a hairdryer. Middle class Europeans are not as vain as we are so there won't be a bail out with a new dryer or adapter/converter, etc. Just know that what happens in Greece, stays in Greece and if you look like you stuck your finger in the converter for the whole trip, we promise to take pictures of you from the forehead down!
