    Borrow something from then. Then, when you return it, be very grateful, and maybe give a bottle or chocolates or say you owe them one.

    After that they will be nicer to you.

      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.

            It is the Benjamin Franklin effort. Google it for a better explanation than my own.
