What would you do?

I come into work tonight and one of my co-workers as HER work put in my mail slot! No sticky note or anything.
The thing is I have done her photo coping for her before, but it was monthes ago and only when I was bored.Then I realized that I was doing the only job she had, that she doesn't do very well, obviously.So I haven't touched it in a while.
I worked for her Fri b/c she called in sick and she worked the rest of the weekend so she had plenty of time to do her own work.
If she were a nice person it wouldn't be so bad.But she is a very odd girl.Im never quit sure what I am getting from one day to the next.Somedays she is happy, some sad, somedays she is capable of telling you off, somedays she might kiss your feet...very unpredictable.
What irritates me the most is there was no note. She had plenty of time to do it herself and she didn't. If she left a note on it and asked me to do and said thanks...then I would have a problem.But it really bothers me when someone expects you to do their work.
Would you do it? Would you stick it in her mail slot,put a sticky note on it and say "I think you misplaced this?" Then if I leave it, I feel bad.All I need is a simple please and thank you...is that to much to ask?

put it back in her box with a note saying you think she misplaced it. if she gets nasty then tell her she should have left a note and said thanks for taking care of it for her. its not your job so don't worry about it, you shouldn't have to carry more then you can handle.

Maybe a note that says, "I found this in my slot today. Did you nned help with it? Since it didn't have a note or anything on it I wasn't sure why it was in my slot."
 
I'd go with Jeannie's idea. Play dumb. Say "did you put this in my slot by mistake or did you want me to do something with it, because there was no note or anything" *insert innocent, angelic look here*;)

>left a note


I agree. Sounds like she's trying to get away with your doing her work for her.
 
Just because it was in your slot doesn't mean she was asking you to do it. I would just stick it back in her slot without comment, assuming that it was misplaced. Period.

There is no doubt in my mind that she was asking me to do it. I was ready to do it, just to keep the peace b/c I am like that, but I am going to put in back in her slot and play ignorant.If she ask my on Friday morning how come I didn't do it, I will tell her I didn't know I was suppose to...thought she misplaced it:) Just irritates me b/c I know she wasn't busy so she was just being lazy!
