OMG:
A disheveled looking guy asked me for spare change for groceries or what ever. I pulled out my wallet not realizing that there literally literally wasn't a coin in there, no bills either. Even though he took the liberty of craning forward to look inside he must've thought I was fucking with him the look he gave me. Oh well nothin to do but laugh awkwardly and continue with my day.

laughing awkwardly about it just makes it so much worst :(

I wouldn't feel comfortable with the guy looking inside my wallet to be honest.

You're lucky he didn't just snatch it from you...

Just because this guy was homeless doesn't make him a thief.
@OP
At least you tried. Many people just ignore them and treat them as lesser beings. I've occasionally offered a snack if I don't have any cash on me.

Don't give them cash, seriously. If he asked for groceries, ask him what he would like and go buy it for him if you really want to give him money. I'm not trying to stereotype or be mean but a lot of homeless people are alcoholics or drug addicts and giving them cash only contributes to that. If you want to help, ask them what they need.
