Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker and. . .

No, this is a simple, no, no. I would never do this. There are too many bad things happening. They could be a killer or I could be one... They don't think! I have had people ask me to let them drop me off. But I never get in their car. There is this guy that lives on the same street as I, and he wants to take me to pick up my son from school.. I don't get in his car, and I suggest you and others don't either!

It's against the law where I live to pick up hitchhikers. I don't pick up hitchhikes, but if I see a friend walking I'll pick them up since I know them.

I personally haven't picked up hitchhikers. Being a mom with kids, I only offer rides to people I know.

The only time I picked up a hitchhiker that anything weird happened was when I was talking to him and missed my exit! We found an alternate way that was really pretty.

One time one of my brothers and me were riding to his house in his truck,since he lived a good hour or more away from me,and we saw a guy on the side of the road walking,and Brian said that since I was with him he would stop and see if he was okay,so we stopped and his car had run out of gas,and he had a gas can and was trying to walk to the gas station,so we gave him a ride to the gas station,and then took him back to the car,he even offered to give us money,but we told him it was no problem,I dont know if that would count as a hitchhiker story,but thats the closest thing to an encounter with a hitchhiker that I have ever had.

We generally don't recommend picking up hitchhikers as there is always a risk they might be some psycho person. That being said, there are many, many, many quite nice people out there just looking for a ride. Many people use this as a form of cheep travel. I have known many people who have hitch-hiked across many different countries including the U.S. My only personal experience with this is having picked up a woman, who's taxi had just left without her. One night I was on my way to my cousins house, and at a pay-phone. I saw this taxi sitting in front of a KFC. This lady came out with some bags of food and waved to her taxi. The driver drove off. She looked like she was in her early 60's and had chased after the taxi. I walked over and offered to drive her where she needed to go. She was taking dinner to her daughters apartment for her daughter and grandson. It was the complete opposite direction that I was going, but it was only like 2 and a half miles out of the way. She was a very sweet woman and everything was fine. I would always keep in-touch with my instincts and use good judgment.

I have never picked up a hitchhiker, as I do not drive. But I hitchhiked three times when I was younger. Only once by myself. Thank God in heaven, nothing bad happened.

I don't pick up hitchhikers. Back in the days before cell phones were commonly available if someone was having car trouble I might offer to report their trouble at the gas station down the road, but only after careful consideration because too many criminals have staged phony "need help" situations just to get someone to stop so they could do nasties. One has to temper one's desire to help others with a strong dose of reality.

I never have picked up a hitchhiker at all. I certainly think that this is never safe at all to do that. Hitchhikers will take advantage of you and even rob you. So I would not pick up any hitchhikers at all. I think they are the ones that do crimes and want to hide from cops.
