Not a physical item as such...
It genuinely annoys me how self-absorbed people at my workplace can be. Some of them don't bother replying when you say hello, don't hold doors open of you, or they can be genuinely rude, condescending of their peers, all that shit.
So a little while back, I created a simple sigil for "be kind". So far, I have:
- drawn it on a post-it note and stuck it to a ceiling tile in the canteen
- embedded a small image of it at the bottom of the template for our department's weekly bulletin
- drawn it on the back of the loo-roll dispenser in the ground-floor gents toilets so it can only be seen if you're sat there taking a dump
- doodled it on the back of the fire evacuation sign which keeps falling off the wall in reception
I'm continuously looking out for other places to put the sigil. I've heard a few people asking about it... My hope is that as people begin to notice it, and wonder what it is, their curiosity will charge the sigil. I reckon if I put it in enough places, people will start being a bit kinder...
So, yeah, that's my current favourite item in my magic arsenal.
