IDK about Istanbul specifically, but if someone isn't actually asking for money it's rude to just give it to them. That shit about how nobody ever really needs money and collecting bottles pays well is obviously false. You see the same in the US where many genuinely believe that it's easier to be homeless than to have a home and a job because you "don't have to work for a living."
Man dude out here in flip flops in winter though.
