D'oh - feel a bit stupid.....

 

Err, me no understandee joke

 

If you mean by "do-gooders" those who are prepared to give someone a lift, I think they are to be praised for their helpful attitude, but I think that these days it is a risky thing to do. They wouldn't deserve to get mugged etc but that is what can so easily happen unfortunately.

I used to give hitch hikers a lift but not any more. Not worth the risk. I think it is a shame that one has to think that way in this modern world.

How many hitchikers do you see nowadays....not many tbh.
I used to,and still would as long as they looked "okay".

 

[QUOTE=Jza][QUOTE=Pastor]What, you mean 2 pretty girls and all the grapes one could eat?


I take your point but I can spot posh tarts a mile off, I doubt a couple of Rodean girls are interested in robbing my plastic fantastic jap mobile. In any case both of them had very tidy looking behinds not big butts. Especially the girl of oriental origin. Not that I looked to closely mind.

I also think it's a shame more of us don't feel confident enough to give lifts to others. It seems a bit daft to be driving round in a 5 seat car all by myself when someone obviously needs to get somewhere.

As far as I know hitchhiking has it's origins just after WWII when transport was plentiful (civilian and military) and dues to the large volumes of demobbed soldiers it was common for people to hitch as a commonsense way of getting around. Unfortunately most of us are too paranoid or selfish to open ourselves to strangers these days.

 

Especially when they stick a knife in my ribs!

 

Following on from the comments above I'll tell you who I didn't stop for when I last saw them.
A very agressive romany looking family of 4 who were almost throwing themselves in the road to stop people. I wonder if they ever got a lift. On the offchance they are scoobynetters, next time you want a lift
a) Have a bath
b)Don't gesticulate angrily at cars that don't stop, the cars following can see this
c) Try not too look as if you will rob, stab and possibly eat the kind soul who is stopping for you.

 

One day, the famous DJ, Tony Blackbird, was driving along when he saw a hitchhiker. As she was young and pretty he picked her up.

After a few miles, he said: "You don't recognise me do you?", and when she agreed that she didn't, he informed her he was a famous DJ.

"Great," says she, "I've always wanted to be on the radio."

Tony sees his chance, and tells her she can be on his show, if she'll do something for him.

She readily agrees, so Tony pulls into a secluded layby, whips down his trousers and undies, and pointing at his erect member, says, "What do you say to that then?"

The girl wrapped one hand round it, bent towards it, and said, "Hello mum, hello dad!":

An HGV driver was driving along when he saw a young pretty girl hitching, so he stopped for her.
After a few miles, he asked her what she did for a living, and she replied that she was a witch!

The lorry driver laughed, and told her to go ahead and put a spell on him, then.

She started rubbing his thigh, and he turned into a lay-by.:

Alcazar
I'll get me coat.

 

When i used to hitchike in the eighties i'd always carry a spare shirt and tie to change into.

 

Was that to get rid of the blood and guts after you'd murdered your victims?

 

Remember as a youngster hitching around France with a mate. Got to one out of the way place and couldn't get a lift for 2 days. Found out in local cafe that there had been a body found in woods and people were a bit nervous... I still pick up hitchers if I don't have family in car but avoid young ladies as they can try the old "he raped me scam". Did some hitching around the States with my Union Jack duffle bag. Met some great folk but wouldn't want my boy to repeat what I got up to

 

Deliverance?

 

I was island hopping in Greece during the eighties and we hitched our way around the various islands. One of my more memorable journeys was spent in the back of a rusty old pick-up at sunset along a dusty road on a deserted part of the island of Kos (before it got touristy).

The driver, an old Greek guy, dropped us off at the home of a friend of his, a lovely old lady called Fortini who had two en suite rooms to let in a newly built, whitewashed single story house in the grounds of her smallholding. It was a fantastic room and very cheap and Fortini would bring us freshly baked bread from her ovens each day, as well as fresh figs and other meals. We didn't want to leave

 

Hello

I have been known to pick up hitchhikers if they look okay. I would never pick up (in a car!) a woman on her own as it's extremely easy to cry rape. And even if there is nothing to it, the trauma around that particular accusation is immense.

It happened to someone I know.

Steve.

 

I will pick up lone females working on the premise that I know I'm not a lunatic/rapist/murderer and am happy to take the slight risk that I may be accused.
After all the next person to stop might actually be a nutcase.

 

Not a chance - too many weirdos and loonies about.

Any female out walking on their own or driving who picks someone up needs their head tested!!

little'un

 

So dont press charges then..

I was driving back to uni (Aberystwyth) one sunday afternoon and as I turned onto the road for Dolgellau this old lady was in the middle of the road waving her arms like mad woman.
I stopped because I thought something was wrong and as I was winding my wonky VW Beetle window down she got in on the other side!
She said she had walked from Corris which is miles away and could I take her home.
I didn't have much choice because she was in the car by then.
So off we went in my bright yellow car.
Then after a while she shouted "stop" at the top of her voice I had such a fright.
I stopped she got out and climbed over a wall, I wanted to make sure she was ok but then she came back with a carrier bag with some trainers in!!!!
She had put the trainers there on her way and changed into shoes for church apparently!!!!
She got back in and then got all wierd... she was going on and on about me being a sinner. Saying I should tell her about my sins

That was the wierdest drive back I ever had. I was so glad when she told me to stop again and she got out by this little lane.

My family went nuts with me
Said I should never have let her get in the car!
But what could I do!!

I would never pick up anyone now... I feel guilty sometimes when they look at you with those eyes.

cath

 

i always do it when i can.

met a complete nutter once. ended up giving him a tenner to leave me alone.

ive never seen two gorgeous girls looking for a lift yet! gutted.

Gotta keep things into perspective chaps. People have been known to be pushed in front of trains at stations by nutters, doesn't stop you getting the train. Road rage happens, doesn't stop you driving, honking the horn or gestulating etc. etc.

 

No way , never.. Company won,t allow any passengers in vehicle full stop.
As for picking up when in my car , Never. Friend of the family picked a woman up, who was thumbing it. To cut along story short, he was going a different location to the woman. So when he got to Watford gap services, he pulled over to let her out as she wanted to go up m1. He was going up M6. When he told her to get out she said unless he took her to where she wanted to go , she would shout rape. Finished up with police involved, very shxxty with him having to have a roasting and tests. So much for being the good samaritan

 

I travelled from Liverpool to Burnley and back, every day for 3 years or so.

I would never pick up anyone thumbing a lift.

But on this one occasion there was a bloke stood at the Rocket junction with a piece of card saying "BURNLEY PLS", it was raining, and it was a Friday so I was in a good mood....... I decided to give him a lift.

He came over to the car and confirmed where I was going, then asked if he could put his rucksack in the boot.

Yes, I said.

So he opens the tailgate puts his bag in, then there was a loud bang and the sound of shattering glass.

The ****** had slammed my tailgate ( Citroen BX 16V GTI ) onto the frame of his rucksack and smashed the back window.....

Never again !

£50 EXCESS and I lost a days holiday.......fcukin ******.

He didnt even offer to pay for the damage, and when I told him he will have to pay my excess, he cried on about having no money, how his gran was sick, he had lost his job, he didnt have an address.....etc.

Pr1ck, never again...

EDITED TO ADD.....

Now Ive thought on about this incident, when he approached my car and confirmed where I was going, I told him Padiham, he said some thing along the lines of ' Cant you turn off at junction 14 Burnley? ' Not knowing what junction I turned off at, I said Yes.......
But I actually turn off at the junction before Burnley for Padiham, and the cheeky **** must have known this and was asking me to go out my way.

RUN THE ******* OVER.....

 

I did this once and the young lady turned out to be a lady of the night .......at least it took her 5 mins before she came out with the immortal "sooooo.....do you want buisness?" .....hahahah....dear oh dear....i merely said "no thank you.its not my style really"
