Have you ever picked up a hitchiker?

I drove an old lady from the county library, to one of the neighboring towns. She just mumbled most of the time. Not sure she even said thanks.

There was a second time It was raining cats and dogs. I mean it was raining really hard. I was driving down a lone road and saw someone walking in the rain. They weren't even walking as if they were trying to get out of the rain. They had a slow gait, couldn't make out many details about them. Anyway I slowed down. But something kept me from stopping for them. I felt pretty guilty after that.

How about you? Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker? If you don't have a car, would you pick up a hitchhiker, if you did?

Nope, I've always wanted to pick one up and to hitchhike as well.

My mom used to do it a lot in the 60's, but TBH there is a reason it's not as common now as it was.

Never came across a hitchhiker. Don't think I'd stop to be honest.

I kinda did it a few times, but those were just hookers.

Back in late 00, I watch the movie Hitcher and from that, I been terrify of picking up any hitchhikers for that reason:

Yeah, I did it a couple of times. In one occasion I picked two girls, but midway through the ride one of them started to freak out, panicking, asking me where I was taking them? I was like, wtf, I'll stop the car right away, but the other friend managed to calm her down.

The other occasion was with a tourist couple who was caught in the middle of a sudden and unexpected storm. Picked them up and took them for a ride to some unknown nice places. It ended up being a cool afternoon.

@davillain: that was an amazing remake of an already amazing horror film. Sean Bean was great.

A few times. I also hitchhiked all over Europe for 7 months when I was young.

Only once.

I gave a girl a ride down the street from a bar once and a cop pulled up next to my window right after asking whether she was a prostitute.

I have never picked up a hitchhiker, hell I've only ever seen someone hitchhiking only once in my entire life and it happened a very long time ago when I was taking a girl back home from a date when I saw this young girl walking down the street at night with her hand out. If I hadn't already had a girl in my car then I probably would have stopped and offered her a ride. I did see her again after I dropped the other girl off but she didn't have her hand out anymore and was walking in the other direction down the street.

Yes, one time in college a guy that looked pretty beat up. Another time an old man with his fishing rod. Then another guy twice; he is actually "famous" for being picked up, found out some of my coworkers had, and they pointed me to a news article about him.
