Spent a good few years terrified of escalators after my mum told me that you’d get dragged under them if you didn’t pick your feet up at the end. Would drag my feet a bit as a child which she must have tired of after a while. Used to do enormous leaps off them just to make sure I cleared the nashing teeth at the end, to the bemusement of onlookers I’m sure.

I used to do the exact same thing, after being told the same thing. Still make sure to step over them quite broadly to be fair, just can’t seem to shake the habit/fear.

We had 2 rabbits called Mr and Mrs Malone, I’d have been about 4 or 5. Mr Malone died but my dad told me that Mrs Malone ate him and that was normal for rabbits to do.
