‘roly poly’, designed by the design incubation centre at the national university of singapore, are a pair of egg-like objects
that mirror each other’s movements, even when physically separated. two people thus can sense each other’s presence
despite distances across the world: a tap of one half will create a simultaneous reaction in the other.

I just got a ride home from the gym from a 40-ish year old five foot tall white woman that I’ve never talked to before tonight.
She offered as she saw me leaving. I live literally across the street. Maybe a 5-10 minute walk.
I asked her why she wanted to give me a ride and she said “Because with what’s going on out there I don’t think it’s safe for you to talk alone in the dark.”
I’m a black male in my late 20s who is six feet 8 inches tall and is roughly 400 lbs. I’m a literal giant.
And she feared for my safety because of what she’s seen on the news all week.
Think about that shit.

A customer walks up while I’m at the register.
Customer: I’m looking for a (makeup brand) cream to put on your eyes.
Me: Okay, well, we have all of the (brand) makeup toward the front–
Customer: WELL I LOOKED, CAN YOU JUST WALK OVER AND SHOW ME?
Me: …Okay. *walks over to the eyeshadow creams* Was this what you were looking for?
Customer: NO, IT’S A CREAM THAT GOES ON THE CORNERS OF YOUR EYES.
Me: Is it a makeup or just an eyecream?
Customer: *SIGHS LOUDLY* AN EYECREAM. BY. (BRAND).
Me: …Okay, well, we have all of the creams over on this aisle… *starts to walk over*
Customer: CAN YOU JUST SHOW ME WHERE THEY ARE?
Me: …I am, ma’am. *gestures to the brand* Okay, we have all of them right here–
Customer: JUST SHOW ME WHERE (BRAND) IS!!!
Me: …All of these are (brand), ma’am.
Customer: WELL WHICH ONE IS IT?
Me: What were you looking for, ma’am? What color was it?
Customer: IT WAS CLEAR. I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS. *starts looking at all of them and bitching about whatever*
I go back to the register and ring up some customers, then the old lady comes back, along with someone who needs a price check. She tells me to ring up the old lady first, so I do so…
Customer: There’s supposed to be some deal on this?!
Me: Yes, with the rewards card.
Customer: WITH THE REWARDS CARD?
Me: Yes, it’s a rewards member sale price.
Customer: WELL WHAT’S THE SALE?
Me: *squints and sees tag from a ways away* Uhhh it looks like buy one get one 50% off.
Customer: OKAY, SO HOW DO I GET THE SALE?
Me: I need your rewards card or phone number?
Customer: I had one a while ago but I think it expired.
Me: They don’t expire, ma’am, it should still be in the system.
Customer: SO HOW DO I PULL IT UP? DO YOU NEED MY NUMBER?
Me: Yes, ma’am, what is your number?
Customer: *SIGHS LOUDLY and recites phone number as quickly as she can*
Nothing comes up so I just enter her in the system and the sale comes up. It’s not buy one get one 50%, but it’s a better deal than BOGO.
Me: Okay, so it looks like the sale isn’t BOGO, they are $X.XX.
Customer: SO I GOT THEM FOR $X.XX AND ONE IS HALF OFF?
Me: No, ma’am, they’re just $X.XX each.
Customer: WELL WHERE’S MY ONE FOR FIFTY PERCENT OFF?
Me: The sale isn’t BOGO, it’s just $X.XX each.
Customer: WELL YOU TOLD ME IT WAS 50% OFF.
Me: I misread the sign, ma’am.
Customer: WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!?!?!?!
Me: I did just explain it to you, ma’am.
Customer: *stops and slams her purse on the counter* DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST LEAVE BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTITUDE?
Me: I’m trying the best I can, ma’am.
She was a total bitch the entire time, and I wanted to just walk away, but I dealt with her until she left, but of course the next person right after her was a bitch as well.
I have someone staying in my hotel tonight that made me think that this would be worth sharing here.
If you are running away/trying to hide from someone that is frightening, abusing, harassing you, and you find yourself staying in a hotel to avoid being found, there’s an extra precaution you can take.
When you check in, ask the front desk clerk to put you as “Unlisted”. They’ll know what you’re talking about. What this means is that as far as anyone other than you and the front desk clerks are concerned, you’re not there. If someone tries to call for you and your room, “I’m sorry. I don’t have anyone registered under that name.” Same thing goes for it someone shows up at the desk. “Unlisted” means you’re untouchable.
Please, please, if you find yourself in trouble and seeking refuge in a hotel, do this. It’s really quick, easy, and painless for the front desk clerk to do, and they are not going to judge you for it.
Please use actual words, not just code words. I work in a hotel and have NEVER heard of “Unlisted”. If someone were to come up to me and say that I would just look at you, confused, and ask for clarification.
Just flat out tell the front desk that you’re avoiding an abuser, if you say that you’re just avoiding something or someone, we may hesitate to comply, because you may be hiding from the police or law-enforcement. Please tell the front desk what you actually want us to do. Most places sign privacy/non-disclosure type agreements and if you say: “Hey, I’m hiding from a very bad situation and there might be some abusive people following me. Can you please either put me under a different name or make sure that no one contacts me?” we’ll do it and wont speak another word. Most places would even help you look up resources and try to get you transportation.
You can make it so most phones will be no contact, put up the do-not-disturb sign, and when shift change happens, if you’re still awake, tell the next person, because sometimes shift change is chaotic and important stuff can fall through the cracks. If you’re staying for multiple days, ask to speak with the general manager about your situation and they’ll make sure everything is enforced.
I worked at a hotel for almost 3 years, and I can confirm with the second post. You can additionally tell us at the front desk that no one is allowed to phone you, but you can phone out of your room.
Please do not be vague about it, we’ll likely think you’re up to something illegal. Just be upfront about it. No one’s allowed to see the guest list (or your name on the computer) besides the people working behind the counter, it’s a part of the confidentiality agreement.
Fuck I reblogged this before… Ignore that one. This is the right one
