Op is correct.
I picked up a guy in rural Kentucky that went on and on in his corn pone accent how he had just killed his father.
My most recent flirt with death and dismemberment was a woman hitchhiker who was short and good looking.
My recipe for trouble.
Picked her up. Took her home.
Yes. I did. Recreations complicated by the bowie knife.

My buddy's car broke down in Nashville while he was on his way to Chattanooga. He decided to hitchhike kind of as a joke I guess. He got picked up by this chick and her gay friend. They were driving through to Atlanta from Nashville and dropped him off in Chattanooga. She was smoking hot. He ended up dating her for about 6 months. 
She came to Chatt and hung out with us a few times. Cool chick. Tried to sell me Advocare though and tell me about "nutrient extraction." I lit her arse up telling her what kind of nonsense that was. She got pissed.

When I owned my truck, I picked up several hitchhikers if they were willing to ride in the back.
Now that I'm back in a car, I haven't and probably won't.

I've done it several times in the past when I was down and out. I used to like to hear their stories on how they ended up becoming a drifter to make me feel better about myself.

Not exactly hitch hikers, but I've picked up two different women.
One was the wee hours of the morning and I was on my way to work. I was stopped at a light and she came running into the street. I thought someone was chasing her or something and let her in. She said she needed a ride to her car "right up the road." The car kept getting farther away so I made her get her arse out in a grocery store parking lot. Pretty sure she was a prostitute.
Second time was similar, but I was on my way home from work in the middle of the night. Woman flagged me down in an intersection. I thought something was bad wrong again, but she just asked for a ride. Apparently her and her man had a fight and he left her. Drove her home to the projects.

Once. On St Charles avenue, it was a dad and his kid (I believe wearing Kentucky stuff?) who were trying to quickly get to a final four game at the blender. He gave me 20 bucks for a 5 minute drive. I was heading that way anyway so it was fine.

My freshman year in college I was driving down highland and saw a young black woman (early twenties) and 5 kids, the oldest being around 6 and youngest was newborn, I passed them up but turned around thinking they could use a ride. She asked me to bring her to a shelter downtown. I gave the kids a basketball I had in the backseat with the hope one day one of them becomes the next Lebron. I felt like that gave me some good karma, but my mom was pissed when i told her about it.

I was in Montgomery once with my guitar. A guy pulled up in a Cadillac, ended up being Hank. He kept telling me the same shite over and over about singing the blues, bending strings, what a goober.

Lived in Crested Butte, CO for a few years, would pick up hitchhikers between Gunnison and Crested Butte, but not outside of that boundary. There were alot of nice locals that would go back and forth regularly between the two by hitchiking. Had to do it a couple of times myself when I would leave my car in Gunnison to get worked on, etc.

When I lived on Block Island 15 years ago it was common practice. It’s a small island of only a couple hundred residents and it’s a long ferry ride to the mainland.
In the traditional sense of picking someone up with their thumb up on the side of the road not so much outside of what I mentioned. But I have given and taken rides from strangers in many situations over the years.

I was driving my truck and saw a guy with a gas can.
I pulled over and asked him what was up.
"ran out of gas going to walk to the store and get some"
I'm like, man I guess I got here just in time I will walk with you. Dude looks at me like I'm crazy & I'm like what?
"you better lock your truck we in the hood man"

Done it a few times in Jackson Hole. People hike the trails and get rides back down to their vehicles all the time.
I hitchhiked myself a few times doing that.

When I was young my dad would pick up hitch hikers all the time. Loved doing it. Liked to hear their stories. Usually did it when he was alone, but once with my brothers and me in the car. Picked up a couple of crusty looking guys that stunk to high heaven. My whole left side where I was next to them stunk afterwards.
Another time he picked up five black guys late at night on airline on his way back from Opelousas. Most would call him crazy, but they were super grateful because it was pitch black outside and spooky as hell.
Dad had a guardian angel that my mother always said had to retire once he passed.

Yes, but before the movie "The Hitcher" came along. None since.

Never a real hitchhiker, but I picked up 3 college dudes attempting to walk home from Bogie's at 2AM one night.
I've been picked up by random people twice while I was walking home from a bar as well.

Thread reminded me of this story from last baseball season
Hitchhiker's Guide to StarkVegas
Cliffs:
- State fan picks up Belgium hitchhiker off I-55
- State fan was headed to Starkville for baseball series so took hitchhiker with him
- Hitchhiker became famous in Left Field Lounge

I've never picked one up, but I have gotten random rides from strangers twice.
The first was in college, my gf was driving us home after a long night at the bar and she was on my arse about something. We were at a red light and I just got out and started walking. A few mins later a chick pulled up and asked if I needed a ride. She didn't look too bad, but I noticed a car seat in the back. She took me home, I invited her in but she declined. Oh well.
Second time was coming home from LSU/Georgia in 09. Ran out of gas on the interstate just north of Mobile. We started walking down the shoulder, and after about a mile a nice couple picked us up, brought us to the gas station and took us back to our car. I tried to pay him but he wouldn't take it. Nicest Auburn fans I've ever met.

I picked up a hitchhiker on I 10 a little west of Houston and gave him a ride all the way to El Paso.
It was just starting to rain when I saw the guy, he was a clean cut young guy with a huge backpack. He told me that he had just graduated HS and was going to hitchhike around the country for a few months before enlisting in the Navy. I asked him what he was doing for money and he said he had a credit card that he could use if he needed money. He said he a couple of thousands in savings to pay his bills for a few months. A really nice kid, though a little naive.

I do in the mountains when you can tell it's a hiker. Many hikers, including myself, hitchhike from the trail into town to resupply, then back out to the trail. Pretty common up and down the Appalachian Trail. Usually makes for some good stories and a way to meet some great people just out enjoying nature.
