1.Durvaasaa Muni and Indra
[A similar story is given here  Ganesh's Head]
This story comes in Vishnu Puraan, 1/2 (and in Padm Puraan, 5/37 too). Once Indra was going somewhere riding on his Airaavat elephant. Durvaasaa Muni was coming from opposite side from Bhagavaan's court. He had a flower garland in his hand. Considering Indra the Swaamee of Tri-Lok he thought that this garland would be appropriate for Indra as Prasaad. So he threw that garland on coming Indra. Indra didn't care for it and he threw it on Airaavat's head, and Airaavat picked it from his head, threw it on the ground and crushed it under his feet.
Seeing the insult of this Prasaad, Durvaasaa Muni got very furious and he gave Shaap to Indra: "You will loose all your wealth, grace and kingdom very soon." and went away. Soon Indra was attacked by Daitya Raaj Bali and lost everything. [Read Saagar Manthan story to read what happened after this]
