A homeless guy once gave me change for parking.
I bought him a pizza and a large tea when I returned but he was gone.

Giving the offerings to a homeless girl who'd taken up his spot, I walked away with the words "I'm allergic to pizza" ringing in my ears.

Yup.
I had a guy spare change me a few years ago, and on my giving him a quid, responded, "Oh come on, man! I want to get some chicken McNuggets!"

Hah
I had a similar experience when I bought a homeless man a burger and he refused it saying "No thank you, I am a vegetarian".

This was back in the early 70's before vegetarianism was invented*

some guy in Soho asks me to buy the Big Issue
I looked at the cover, I can't remember who was on it, but it looked vaguely interesting so I gave him the £1 or whatever it was.

He then wouldn't give me the magazine. His logic was he only had 1 left and was I such a bastard I'd take his only Big Issue off him?

I actually found it sort of funny and didn't really mind.

Fuck that
I would have retrieved my pound and given him a sharp rap across the knuckles with my cane for his troubles
