Have you ever hitchhiked and it wasn't for necessity?

My buddy and I almost had a race from our home town to BR as a bet, but we never wound up going through with it. Anyone ever do it just for the hell of it?

So if you get your throat cut does the other guy get the money from your parents?

Yeah. I "catch rides" with friends and family members if that's what you mean.

Hitch-hiking for necessity would be way more of an interesting story than "me and my friends were bored hurr durr"

Use to be quite common to see hitchhikers when I was a kid back in the 70's and even early 80's. Not so much nowadays.

Uber is the closest I come to hitchhiking.

hitchhiking would have been considered trashy in LaPlace where I grew up, we would just jump on the back of bread trucks and ride them to and from NO

Me and my buddy picked up some skanks at some bar in Shreveport. We were going to take them back to his place in Minden. One of them rode with him, and I went with the other one in her car. She ran out of gas and we hitched a ride with a trucker. We got home about daylight

Back before Vice started peddling out that garbage HBO show they had a series on two guys hitchikinh across America that really romanticized it.

I've hitchhiked twice. Neither was necessity but more convenience and saving some time. Was planning on just hiking both occasions.

I'm friends with a girl who hitchhiked from Atlanta to Las Vegas and back. She said it was awesome and met some really nice people. I hitchhiked inside Yellowstone as an employee just to save money cause gas was 4.40$ and never had a problem.

I've hitchhiked but it damn sure was for necessity. I've picked up a few hitchhikers in my day. Usually on long stretches of road, most were hikers.

In the '30s Howard Hughes -- already a multimillionaire -- just took off one day and started hitch hiking around the South. He got arrested for vagrancy in Shreveport but refused to tell the cops who he was -- until he was thrown in a holding cell. Then he began screaming "Do you know who I am???" and demanding to be released, because he didn't want to be "in the same cell as n*****s".

Guess it wasn't complete necessity but it saved us a 4 mile walk on an asphalt road in bfe Mississippi on a bachelor party. Preacher picked us up. Was awkward in the back seat with his kids. Walked there, not sure I could have made it back

So you talked about doing something with a friend and didn't do it then started a thread about it. Fascinating.

In Europe back when I was in college. it was late and we had to get back to our hostel. Apparently it's quite common there.
