edjr 5,567 Posted March 21 1st time in probably 20 years I saw someone "thumbing" aka hitchhiking. Was right outside of the main factory at my company. Not on a highway or major road. I assumed he worked for my company, he did not. Worked at he one next door. He was only 19. Going not far from where I was going to pick up my kid from school. The world needs to be nicer to people also, he did not swallow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engorgeous George 1,176 Posted March 21 I will be driving over Berthoud pass tomorrow. There will be skiers thumbing rides back to the top. I always stop and pick up a load. Last year a very pretty young skier from Iowa gave me a quarter of a gram for giving her group a ride up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So there is that. I seriously haven't seen one in 20+ years? Maybe 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeenHereBefore 1,333 Posted March 21 Me and my friends picked up a hitchhiker once years back. weird dude and had a box with him, I was driving and my one friend in the back with him asked him what was in the box, he replied none of your focking business. So we drove another mile or so and my friend in the passenger seat decides to ask him what's in the box, in a meaner tone same reply none of your focking business. I got weird out enough and dropped him off at a Walmart near by, he ended up leaving the box in my car. Haven't pick up a hitchhiker since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
