I really really hate this as well. This is my pet peeve.

After losing a big hand, some idiot who didn't invest a penny wants to see my hand out of curiosity.

I now ask him several questions.

"I just lost a lot of money. Why in the heck are you asking to see my cards?"

"What do you think I had anyway? Can you read cards? What is the only possible hand I could have to play the hand that way?"

"If I show you the cards, will the information help you beat me? How are you going to do that? Come on, what do you think I had? You must have an idea since you're so curious."

Then, if I haven't mucked them, which more often then not I'm able to do, I float the cards one at a time over the table (this works much better in a 7 card game like razz or stud) at the player who by now usually has no interest in the hand any more.

If someone says something to me, I say, "I just lost $XXXX! Losing the hand isn't bad enough now this clown wants to see my cards and doesn't even know why!"

I've never been asked twice by the same player.

Or you could not be a dick, just lie to him, and keep this loser happy and in the game. Piss him off and he's likely to stack off and leave, one and done.
