MODERATORS
For me, it's situational. I'll ask if I can borrow them for a minute, and it's usually a small question, not a request to do a task. I'm fortunate that I work on a really good team and we are all decently close and respectful to one another, and everyone likes helping each other out when they can. I would say our culture is a bit of an anomaly.
I've asked people in other departments for small things and been told to create a ticket. That's fine, I'm not going to be upset about it, but if that person is just sitting and sitting the shit, it is irritating to force extra steps when it's not necessary.
