Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker?

arse, gas, or grass

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.

I did once. I was getting gas on Sherwood and a younger black guy came up to me and asked for a ride to work which was in plaquemine. I was like nah man but here’s a few bucks to get a taxi or something. He refused the money and said its all good man I don’t want your money. And he just continues walking. I took off and felt bad bc the dude was just trying to get to work. I turned around and picked him up and he was very grateful. Said his baby momma lived off Sherwood and his cousin would give him rides out there but then leave him to go do hood shite and he would have to walk to work. Said he had did it 20-30 times and I thought he was bullshitting so asked the route to get from Sherwood to Plaquemine and he told me with no hesitation exactly how to do it. Used the ferry to cross the river. He would have to leave like 6-8 hours before his shift to make it to work on time

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.

I have a couple of times but they ride in the bed of the truck, not the cab

This could happen..

The Zone

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.
