lol GD I don’t know whether to be happy my instincts were correct, or lament that an Onion article is living rent free in my brain somewhere. 😅

This reads like the title of an Onion article

I don’t know. I think calling France ‘Quebec’ is pretty up there.

not even asking them to do anything for me because last time I did, one of them said she would take a batch of documents to a nearby department but then outright ignored it and I had to do it myself.

From what little we have to go on this seems to be the culprit. While workplaces may seem like a microcosm of polite society there are ‘rules’. One of which is ‘do your own work’. If someone offers to do something because it just happens to be convenient for them that is one thing. Appearing friendly in an attempt to manipulate others to take on your responsibilities may not be your intention but it is what 90% of people are wary of at work. Be friendly, but do not ask for help until you are good friends and play the tit-for-tat game shrewdly.
