I think it might've happened to me to me a long time ago, but I don't remember if it's true. ...Is it just a innocent question or is there a more nefarious agenda behind it?. What do you think it means?.
So, you don't actually recall if this really happened? So why are you thinking about it now? Why, if it's been that long ago would it matter to you?
A long time ago a regular coffee was $1 or less. That should not be a big deal for his nephew to cough up a buck.
Kind of the same thing as someone saying, "walk with me" knowing that the person needs to talk to you about something.
He's getting you used to be generous/respectful to relatives and perhaps others in the future.
OP, in your thread from July, you said you were going to do some things to turn your life around. I was expecting some sort of update on that, rather than some speculation about something your uncle may or may not have said to you that you don't remember.
Are you looking for a job? Did you get an appointment with a doctor? Have you received a diagnosis and treatment so you can work on leaving your room?
Your memory is pretty sharp. I'm not the best with updating others on forums. I'm working with my cousin, he owns a trucking business. I'm going to therapy for social anxiety. I'm still not really comfortable around people. Still a work in progress.
What, exactly, were the circumstances of him asking? And it was a cup of coffee, not a car or bail money, so...
I was helping my stepdad around the house and he came over and that's when he asked. I think it was jokingly, but I'm not sure. Might have wanted to break the ice. Maybe I'm reading too much into it as others have said.

I recently remembered this possibly happening, but didn't give it much thought. I say it somewhat matters because it's good to get an idea of why someone says what they say. The psychology behind it all. This is a psychology forum. We're all interested in how the mind works. I guess was also wondering, not just my exact situation, but also when other people do it. Their intention behind why they ask such a question or something along those lines.
Were you at a store when this happened? Were you sitting at home? Were you at a coffee place?
OP: "I am heading out to get a few things."
Uncle: "Can you get me a coffee on the way back?"
OP: "if i buy him coffee today, he will ask me to buy him a Corvette and a beach house tomorrow"

Maybe your uncle was teasing you, seeing as you were doing some work for your dad, was your dad paying you? Maybe your uncle was teasing that you should take your pay, and go buy him a cup of coffee.
Or, maybe your uncle wanted to talk to your dad in private, and was trying to send you away, kind of.

Or, since they were at home, the question was to make a pot of coffee, not buy it. It's not unusual to offer guests coffee/tea/water, etc, and since it's family, making a request rather than being offered isn't completely out of line.
