Bad sh*t happens to good people and arseholes can and do prosper.
A simple "I am not interested" is sufficent. Perhaps his pissy attitude was more of a response to your attitude.
On a side note:
You remind me of my Mother.
On her first visit to the US we took a train to a local city.
While waiting at the train station I was approached by an elderly lady who was obviously living on the street.
She asked me if I would help her on the train with her bags and I said yes sure let me know when you are ready to get on the train.
My Mother looked horrified.
I did not know this ladies life story, whether she put herself on the street by making bad decisions or life just wasn't kind to her.
At that point you ask yourself whether it really matters.
I helped her.
Once on the train my Mother dragged me to another car and pushed my head down while handing me wet clothes so I could 'clean' myself. She thought this person would come looking for me and try to 'latch on'.
She did look for me and my Mother continued to push me down so my head couldn't be seen.
I still don't understand her reasoning.
It may have been that this lady was just responding to a good deed and someone who treated her like a human being.
