      Well, no, there are worst cases but those things should not stop you from being kind. I have given money to a homeless person and they screamed at me, that it was not enough. Another threw the food back at me, that I gifted and yelled he wanted money. Someone from the corona-"police" started shouting at me once I gifted him a pack of biscuits, to thank for his hard work. He didn't trust me at all and was furious, since the corona-police was known to harass little grandma's off the benches in parks and break up family picknicks in the sun, "just in case."
      I've gifted hardworking men some food and they replied: Eh...we brought our own, we're not poor or something." And a couple of artists that asked for bottle-lids and caps, got furious when I brought them the 'wrong ones' and threw them away before I could retrieve them. They told me never to bother them with my 'mess' again, they required lids from coffeecups for example, not bottles.
      Either way, I can continue to bring down the mood, but I shan't, I just want to say, even when that happens, it's still worth a try, because the result might be great and the intentions matter too, whether people get offended, insulted, angry or otherwise. Because that's what people always do nowadays, so be prepared for that, but don't let it change the way you behave.
