I've always thought about it just to help someone out. I just don't think it is worth the risk of picking up some psycho

Picked up a guy who had run out of gas one time. Brought him to the next exit to get a can of gas and brought him back to his car.

I remember when I was about 7 yrs old I was with my dad and he picked up a guy who had broken down in BR. It was a clean cut guy in a suit. I think we just brought him to a convenient store to use a payphone. I remember telling my mom about it and she was pissed at my dad. Good times

One more time in the past year...was getting gas on my way from Houston to BR. Some kid was at the gas station with a broken down scooter looking for a ride. We put his scooter in the back of my truck and I drove him to his house outside of Lafayette.

i do all the time. the odds of there being two serial killers in the same car are pretty slim.

I did one time in college.

I was being an idiot and drove to Whataburger somewhat intoxicated. Big black dude asks for a ride, I told him YOLO, and I’d do it as long as he didn’t murder me.

Took the guy to the deep projects in Waco, he was grateful. I drove home and enjoyed my feast.

Woke up the next day, remember putting my wallet on my console and realized the dude stole my wallet after I gave him a ride.

Haven’t picked up a hitchiker since.

Yes, but only if I am in a vehicle by myself. I also let them know I am armed.

The only way I'm doing that now is if I see someone broken down on the side of the road and obviously needing help. To hell with picking up hitchhikers with duffel bags and looking like they haven't bathed in weeks.

No telling how fricked up they are or what they intend to do once in your vehicle.

Far too many crazy people walking the streets today. Taking a walk around downtown N.O. only bolsters that point as I see more and more of the transient type walking around talking to themselves. The bipolar train seems to be in the station.

I’ve never picked up a hitchhiker, however I have hitchhiked. Guess that makes me an a-hole.

Not a hitchhiker, but I have picked up an elderly lady carrying bags of groceries and gave her a ride home. I would do it again.

About 20 years ago. I was about 18-19, going from Central to Denham for something and there were two girls about 16-17 walking across the Amite River bridge. Not a bad experience. When we got to the house I dropped them off at, they asked if I wanted to hang out with them and smoke some weed. I declined and went on my way.

Only once. It was a young lady at a Walgreens who asked me for a ride. She was obviously a runaway. She was looking for some place to eat, so I brought her to a local diner, and gave her some money to buy some food. After I dropped her off, I called the police to check on her. She looked like she was in a bad spot.

My friend did when I was in the car with him. The guy is just way too much of a Good Samaritan for his own good. Some guy was waiting out a restaurant and wanting a lift back to his house. My friend agreed despite some mild protests from me. The guy was clearly a crackhead and made that clear enough once we dropped him off if we wanted some drugs.

I went off on my friend as soon as we were out of there. Could have gotten both of us killed since he was clearly a deranged individual and were dropping him off in a dangerous neighborhood.

The day I got my driver's license at 16, I was driving around, and I was going down a road then decided I needed to turn around. I turned left onto a road, intending to turn all the way around, but I saw a guy sticking his thumb out, so I picked him up and drove him a few hundred yards... to the old folks' home. (I had accidentally turned on to private property.)
