Context: I'm leaving Australia and clearing all my belongings. I've gifted or sold most of my clothes/furniture/appliance that I don't intend to bring with me.

I gifted a bunch of my branded clothes to a colleague of mine that was happy to receive them. He has a stable, well paying job.

Today I offered a jacket to an acquaintance at the pub who lives in a community support flat, no stable job/income etc. His response was "Do you think I'm homeless?"

How would you respond to someone offering free stuff?
