Generous brother loans his car to his little sister for 3 years, but she refuses to return it when he desperately needs a vehicle: 'I'm the one currently taking two buses and a train just to get to work'

Borrowing someone else's car is never a forever arrangement. 

But after 3 years of freeloading, this little sister felt entitled to her brother's sedan simply because she got the oil changed and replaced the windshield wipers once. Car ownership disputes boiled over into Reddit's r/WIBTA_AITA subreddit when the car's owner, a once-generous older brother, needed his car back after an accident. 

Yet, the little sister, entitled as always, refused to return it.

Younger siblings always have things a little easier in life. 

Mom and Dad have already tried their hand at strict parenting, and by the time the second one rolls around, they've raised at least one child who can manage the second. That's how the oldest siblings become the accidental, non-negotiable third parent. Alas, the responsibility of the third parent (ie: the eldest) never actually goes away. The parents may move on with their lives and turn their child's bedroom into a home gym or an art studio, but the eldest sibling is always beholden to parenting duties, whether they want, like, or accept it. 

This older brother is no exception to this overflowing responsibility rule. 

He saw that his youngest sister was in trouble, flopping through life as a messy disaster, so he reached out a helping hand to assist her. Little did he know that this helping hand would come back to haunt him. 

When she was at her most desperate, he saw that the second car he had sitting in his driveway could help. So instead of bogarting his assets, he lent his car to his little sis, stipulating that at the end of the day, this car was and will always be his. After three years of enjoying a payment-free life and maintaining the car as if it were hers, she felt akin to the car, which is no surprise. However, when her brother was in a car accident that totaled his primary vehicle, she refused to return the generous favor and hung him out to dry. 

She refused to give him back his car when he needed it most, sparking a vengeful debate on Reddit and causing strife in the whole family.
