Many times in days gone by, no probs.
Had one guy though, asked where he was going and he said X. Said i'm going through there yet when i got there and asked where he wanted to be dropped he said Y, some ten miles down the road. Repeat, where'd you want to be dropped. Cheeky fucker said Z some 10 more miles down the road. Pleasant though and good company, quite why he couldn't say Z in the first place i dunno.
Sadly, it seems that no-one would accept a lift these days, would happily save folks time and possibly bus fare if they would. |

I once broke down and was given a lift when I was 18, so have always done the same to repay the karma. Less often nowadays though since the car is nearly always full.
It's surprising how few axe-murderers hitch nowadays

I am not sure if this counts but stopped in traffic and this women jumped in my car. She said she has been waiting for the bus for a long time. I drove her home and it would of been rude of me not to go in for a cup of coffee!! |

"How did it go? "
Weirdly I picked one up once, he had a big rucksack with him that he clung to really tightly. So much it was awkward I asked him what was in it and he said 'none of your fucking business' obviously I told him to have a little respect ect as I was helping him. About 30 mins went by so I asked him again , none of your fucking business he said ! So after a little row I kicked him out. Any way got home and I couldn't believe it he'd only left his bag in my car. So I took it in and opened it! |

And had he robbed your works safe? |

I hitched lifts in my early 20's, with my bf at the time though. We met some interesting people along the way. Funds were tight at the time. We never had any bad experiences from it. In later years, he would always pick up a hitchhiker, if there was room in the car. We both lived, to tell the tale.  |

Have hitched in ma youth, and picked up people, never had any problems. As a biker, I once encountered another dude who had broken down on a mountain road in Wales, I took him 15 miles to Bala where he got some spare bits, then took him back to his bike. We rode back to Bala where he got me pissed and put me up for the night   |

Once, about 26 years ago... Was about 02:30 coming back from the casino, half mile away from home, saw late teens girl dressed for clubbing thumbing for a lift. Drove past thinking what a stupid cow. Then I thought I didn't want to hear about someone being raped and/or murdered when I could have prevented it.
Doubled back and picked her up. Lived 15 miles out of town! Had been separated from her friends, remember this was pre mobile phones, and didn't have money for a taxi.
Lectured her all the way about the stupidity of a loan female hitchhiking, she'd even noticed me drive past the first time, and told her next time to reverse call her dad as I was sure he'd rather be woken in the early hours by her crying to be collected than a knock on the door from the police. |

hitch hiking used to be the best way to travel.... as it was usually the more interesting folk who stopped and gave lifts,(craque was mighty) either them or gay men(never gave any hassle) or the religious freaks looking to convert... thankfully no real nutters
nowadays it is us who are behind the wheel, and yes we normally do stop for folk who have their thumb in the air .

I picked up a hitch hiker a few months ago.
Dropped him two services stations down the motorway.
Think I unnerved him with my speedy driving lol
No worries.
I'd do it again. |

Only one so far, but he wasn't hiking. He'd run out of petrol and I didn't realise the nearest petrol station was only 400 yards away down the next turning. He was grateful enough, although he did have a shock when my dog popped his head forwards to say hello from the back seats.  |

Yes...have picked up the odd hiker but many years ago....so rarely see someone thumbing a lift these days...must be people are really fearful and don't hitch. In Australia I hitched a..bit...got a couple of llifts from women to...had lunch bought for me...beer...and one chap and his family took me and another couple of guys in for a few days...and took us out for a barbi....only one big good experience there and no bad ones. |

Ive hitched and also been the one giving the lift. Met some really interesting people, some very kind people and lots of ordinary people. Never once met a serial killer! |

How ironic would it have been if she was thinking "ffs I got all dressed up and I get the one guy who isn't horny for the hitchhiker chick" |

Yeah I have done in the past, and stopped at several break downs, a dad with 3 young kids, with a flat, he was mortified at having a woman change the wheel for him, but didn't want to leave a stranger sat up the bank with his kids, I won't give lifts if IV got my sproglet with me tho. |

True. But then I'm not the type to spot a loan female in a vulnerable situation and think "I wonder if I can get a fuck out of this?" |

Thing is forceful stranger rape is incredibly rare to the point that your lecture would have been much better aimed at the danger so walking along the side of the road at night half d*unk. |

Your only ever gonna hear about the negativity that comes with hitch-hiking, like everything. Good news is swept under the table these days but one person gets murdered by hitch-hiking & that's all you ever hear & all your sadly going to associate with it from then on.
Morale of the story is, if someone wants to murder someone, they'll find a way to do it, wether it be picking an innocent stranded pedestrian up or under cooking their chicken dinner therefore resulting in an unsavoury death called salmonella.... |

people go clubbing without drinking?
not really in reality most rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.
Random rapes of strangers are incredibly rare. |

yeah, picked up loads. Hitched all over Europe and BC Canada, had some fabulous times and one or two scary moments.
So now if I see a genuine hitcher, or a driver with trade plates, I pretty much always stop if I'm going their way. |

"Yes, including a squaddie who was AWOL and nervous returning to camp. Have certainly had good company and fun. AWOL lad left fairly destressed. Win-win.
Destressed or distressed?  "
Oh, he was certainly de-stressed. Poor guy, his career had taken a knock, maybe he'd get disqualified. But our fun left him on the up, as I dropped him at camp gates. |

Oh yeah.
Reminds me of a time when a reporter was lost and couldn't find his way to Valley Parade.
So i went out of my way and dropped him off as close as one could reasonably get on match day.
I don't think he thanked me for it. |

I always pick up hitch hikers - spent many years on the road when I was younger, so I know what it's like to need a lift and having to watch cars zooming by with just one person in them.
I've never had any problem, either as a hitcher or as a driver... but I've met plenty of lovely and interesting people. |

Okay Thx118, you win. You're putting yourself forward as an expert in rape so I'll bow to your superior knowledge.
Your knowledge of the drinking habits of people who go clubbing is greater than mine, obviously.
In fact, your knowledge of an incident that happened before you were even born is greater than mine, and I was there. You are truly remarkable.
If ever I again see a loan female who I perceive to be in a vulnerable situation I shall think of you and assume she's looking to get fucked and try to figure out how best I can take advantage of the situation. |
