Passengers being caught out by cruel prank at Dublin Airport

People are being cruelly deceived by a Dublin Airport prankster as a sticker put on a wall in one of the terminals has been frustrating phone users.

Sockets can be hard to find when travelling, and often anywhere there's a chance to boost the battery usually has a queue or a catch.

In this case, it's just 'plane' funny, as one Twitter user was caught out by a 'fake' wall socket which has probably baited in a lot of people, Dublin Live reports.

The video shows a sticker on a wall in one of the terminals resembling a wall socket - which can only have been designed to entertain spectators.

For those with 1 percent who need their maps or have their boarding pass downloaded on their phone, this is a pain.

But for those sitting comfortable across from this watching people huff and puff when they scamper over and realise they've been spoofed, it's a rare delight in a place that can sometimes struggle to keep you entertained.
