Let me be more specific. Let's say that you are a smoker. A person asks you for a cigarette and you oblige. If you needed to describe this event to someone else, you could either say, "I gave so-and-so a cigarette" or "So-and-so _______ a cigarette from me." Saying "took", "had", "borrowed", or "accepted" just sounds weird, right?

Borrowed is definitely not right, since you are unlikely to get it back.

Right. I hate when my students ask to borrow a tissue.

Aziz Anzari has beef with my roommate. We might go to the Human Giant show just to heckle his ass.

Well, concetually, you could get it back. It is all but impossible to get a used cigarette back.
