All these things are what happens all the time in social situations. Except maybe asking to borrow a car, but only because that may be a rare thing to need to ask for (although in poor communities, that and asking for rides happens all the time. People are never obligated to answer questions put to them and can say no to requests to borrow things. Many of the things you mention are how people have been getting to know each other since language was invented. And I see nothing wrong about calling out slackers LOL. The slacker may not like it.
