You might want to scale that down a little bit. I never borrowed somebody's tape gun for a minute at work and thought, what a nice coworker I should send him flowers.
Indeed. I should have said "borrow something important". It needs to be something they care about, or something they know you care a lot about. How you say thanks are examples.
Why would a person who doesnβt like you want to lend you something that they care about?
It is the Benjamin Franklin effort. Google it for a better explanation than my own.
