'[I thought it was] gesture of goodwill for borrowing my car:' 24-year-old woman’s uncle borrows her car without permission, changes two of her tires without her request, then goes on to demand she repay him $120, tension rises when she refuses

If one did not ask for a favor, why should they be burdened with the now you owe me's?  If you need a clearer explanation, have you ever seen that episode of Friends where Joey insists that there's no such thing as a truly selfless good deed, arguing that people only help others to feel good about themselves? Pheobe spends the whole episode trying to prove him wrong, but theoretically fails miserably, making her rethink the whole idea of why we help others. This story is going to make a lot less sense than that episode, so hold on tight (and you might as well check your wheels too)

This woman was getting ready to leave for work, until she realized something was missing from the driveway: her car. Her family told her that her uncle needed to borrow it for a few errands that day. Annoying? Yes. A catastrophe? No. So she Ubered to work and after 8 long hours, returned home to find that her 'perfectly good' tires had been changed. Her uncle told her it wasn't driving smoothly enough (for his liking) and that he went to get them changed for her. She thought it was a sweet gesture, yet failed to see the necessity of it all. Until things took a strange turn, and he started asking her for the money to repay him for the tires…She automatically refused because a.) He had taken her car without permission b.) He had changed her tires without permission, and c.) no further explanation needed.
