Do yuou pick up hitchikers?

Haha great answer!! I do not but my wife recently tried because she’s too nice to say no. Thankfully for me my American bulldog was having NOTHING to do with them getting in the car. My dog would have literally eaten them haha
 

That's a bit of an old joke but a serious subject, nevertheless.

When I was in college in the early 1970's, my main means of commuting between NC State and my home near Fayetteville, NC was by hitchhiking. There were times that I would get a ride that would take me from just off campus to nearly my home doorstep. The worst case was during a snow storm when it took me 13 rides to go 52 miles ... and the last mile and a half was walking toting my suitcases with me.

As for picking up hitchhikers, I don't even give it a thought these days. While it is my nature to do good to others (Jesus teaches us, "as you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to me"), there are just too many people out there these days with no morals and no qualms about taking what is mine, including my life. I figure there will be someone much younger than I and, thence, a harder target than I, that will give them a ride. Sounds harsh but feels so much safer.
 

The other day I picked up a hitchhiker . Dude jumped out almost in front of me on the highway with his thumb out, so I hit the brakes cause I didn't want to kill the guy.

Since I was stopped anyway I figured I might as well help him out. So I picked him up by his belt and the scruff of his neck an threw a$$ in the ditch. :tongue3:
 

I stopped and picked up a hitchhiker last month. After driving for a bit he pulls out a knife and says he is going to steal my truck! I slammed on the brakes leaned over his back opened his door and through his ass out of my truck breaking his arm from how he landed. He freaking out!! I told him, “You should quit hitchhiking because you never know who is going to pick you up.”

I do not pick up people that I don't know. Let them :walk:. I hate to drive with a .38 cal. in my left hand pointed at the passenger side.:flag_red: So uncomfortable for an old man that needs left hand to operate the turn signals.:laughing7:

Hitching around Colorado is pretty easy if you dont look like a total bum. I've hitched a few times and picked up a few also. Never any drama and I like the lack of commitment hehe.
 

Sure...All the time. I collect them! Don't look in my basement. 😱
