mcphersonlaura+FollowWhat are those escalator brushes actually for? 🤔🤔Kept wondering about this, and finally found out the answer 😂😂 Did you know this, or were you also a "shoe-cleaning" believer? 😏😂 They're called "skirt deflectors" — and their main purpose is all about safety. The most important job of those brushes is to gently push your feet, clothing, or even a bag away from the small gap between the moving steps and the stationary side panel. These brushes became a more common safety feature after past incidents, like the King's Cross fire in London. 🚨 Accumulations of dirt and grease inside escalators can be a fire hazard, and the brushes help minimize debris from getting in there and building up. #Escalator #SafetyTips #EverydayWins #MindBlown #Safety 2111Share
XquisiteXcape+FollowHow I Reset After My Brain Goes Into OverdriveEver had one of those mornings where you spill coffee on your shirt, get a passive-aggressive email, and suddenly everything feels like too much? That’s me, more often than I’d like to admit. Here’s what I actually do to pull myself out of that spiral: • I scribble down everything that’s bugging me, then cross off what I can actually do something about. Sometimes I even burn the list (safely!)—it’s weirdly satisfying. • When I catch myself expecting perfection (from myself or anyone else), I remind myself that nobody’s nailing it 24/7. Flaws are just part of the package. • If someone’s vibe is dragging me down, I try to spend less time with them or steer the chat to something lighter. • I keep a gratitude list on my phone for when my brain wants to dwell on the bad stuff. Even “good coffee” or “funny cat video” counts. What’s your go-to trick for snapping out of a funk? #MindsetShift #StayPositive #EverydayWins #Health #MentalHealth10Share
stephaniesoto+FollowThe Day I Finally Opened My Mini Cooper’s HoodI remember the first time I tried to open my Mini Cooper’s hood—I was so frustrated! The latch was hidden near the floorboard on the driver’s side, and I just couldn’t find it at first. Once I spotted the little car symbol, I pulled the latch and heard that satisfying pop. It felt like a small victory in my day. Have you ever struggled with something simple on your car? Share your story below! #CarCareJourney #MiniCooperLife #EverydayWins #SpiritualGrowth #Cars40Share
