girl asked me for a ride outside taco bell, she was from the high school :-/ it was pouring rain.

i also have been a hitchhiker, i got in some visiting mexican professor's car at ucsd and he took me and my buddy around campus loop, he asked where so-and-so place was and we were like its right by where we are heading, can we hop in? and no we did not get anally violated.
 
My car is usually too full of crap to fit another person in if I wanted to. Im not one for picking up strange people anyway, unless its a really hot girl, then I might make an exception.
 
I haven't since I got married. Before that, I used to pick folks up all the time. I hitched a bit myself. Never had any troubles except for the guy with the black lab. The lab hopped in the car and spit out a mouthful of dirt on me.
 
Coming from an era where hitch hiking was common I'll have to say I haven't seen anyone with their thumb out for twenty years.

It'd take a lot to get me to pick up a stranger even if I was carrying. I guess I'm pretty beige.





 
Let's say the roles were switched. If you were stranded and had to hitchhike, would you accept a ride from just anybody?
 
Have done many times ... but they must look like a traveller ... i.e. a backpack and outdoor gear. I spent 7 months hitching around Europe, so I have a karmic debt to repay.
 
Only if there was a friend with me and I checked them for weapons, sure. I'm sure they have great stories to tell.

We all end up dead, chief.

Not me. I've saved all my wafers since my first communion. As I die I'm going to pop them all into my mouth, turn in to Jesus-ra, march up to the pearly gates, kick St. Pete in the nuts, and stride right into heaven.
