Yesterday I went to the temple with my sister Hilary. After the session we're heading down the escalator to change out of our white clothes. I'm in front of her turned sorta sideways, looking up talking to her. So I get to the bottom and my left foot steps over the edge of the escalator but my right foot bumped where the stairs go into the floor. I felt my foot slip out of my slipper which is weird, so I look down and a tiny part of my slipper was stuck under the metal thingy where the stairs go into the floor. Hilary jumps over me as I slowly realize my slipper is being sucked down! So now I'm bending over, in my long white temple dress, trying to grab it out, saying
"Hilary! Hilary!"
She's laughing and saying there's people waiting to come down. I glance up and yes, there's a little old couple at the top staring at me and thinking who-knows-what. The stairs kept coming and coming and the slipper got smaller and smaller so finally there's nothing to grab and it's gone!
GONE.
I had NO idea that could even happen! I was afraid I was going to break the whole system - but it kept going. I guess I'm lucky my dress didn't get caught and sucked down as well because, hello?
That would be really bad.

That happened to me about 8 years ago, but luckily I grabbed it before it got totally sucked away. The people in the cleaning area in the basement did their best to fix it but I still ended up getting new slippers.
