When I was about 3 years old I wondered off from my mum in the supermarket. She was looking for me when I apparently came suddenly running up to her super excited.
“Mummy I pressed the red button!!”
She was apparently super confused about what I meant… until she turned around and saw the escalator behind her slow down to a stop
I had pressed the button that stops the escalator moving
Que her ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit moment. Panicked she walks to the back of the store with me for a bit to hide because her daughters just stopped an escalator with about 10 people on it in a Tesco’s by “accident”.
Fast forward a few years and we’re in that same supermarket and I look down whilst on the escalator and ask my mum why they have protective boxes over the stop buttons and I just get told it’s because of me.
And now I can no longer enter that supermarket without feeling like I’m going to get caught for my mischievous crimes as a 3 year old
