Are there any USB ports that allow the device to be plugged into it right-side-up and upside-down?

USB ports/connectors have been called, by one person I know, a terrible error in design. The ports are not symmetrical, so the USB cables can only be plugged in “right-side-up” and will not fit into the port upside-down, even though the port appears to be a symmetric rectangle. He argues that the USB port should have been made to be symmetric. Now that the imperfect design has been replicated into pretty much every computer manufactured today, with many millions of USB-equipped devices, this error is permanent.

This brings me to my question: Do USB ports exist such that existing USB flash drives and other devices can be plugged into it in either direction?
