I picked up a hitchhiker today...

---

I was on my way back from shopping and I pass a bus stop, an old black guy is holding his thumb out so I thought,"Hey what they hell, i've never picked up a hitcher before and it could be interesting, and if he tries any shit with me he looks frail enough that I could take him on." So, I pull over and ask him where he's headed. Turns out he wants a ride to some temp agency or something which happens to be along my route, he didn't have bus fare so he was hitching a ride.The dude was a straight up crackhead, I'm not even sure if he had a place to live or not. He was telling me he was a Vietnam veteran or something and got discharged after an RPG hit a helicopter he was on, he went on the tell me he had a metal plate in his head and asked me to tap his skull to feel it. I reluctantly did so not really wanting to touch his greasy dreadlocks.The ride wasn't that long, maybe 10 minutes and I dropped him off and he said "God bless you man, God bless." Then he reached into his tattered coat pocket and tells me to open my hand, I see he has given me what appeared to be a bud of marijuana out of gratutude and then he thanked me and walked inside the building.I took a look at the "bud" and it was some brownish, greasy, disgusting thing I can't imagine anyone would put in their lungs. I threw it out my window.So anyways, I picked up a hitcher. I didn't get hacked into pieces and it was quite an interesting experience. I suggest everyone pick up a hitcher at least one to get a new perspective on life. Of course don't pick them up around a state penetentiary or don't pick up the guy with a bloodstained sweater holding a knife.

you talk shit

"don't pick up the guy with a bloodstained sweater holding a knife."I bet his experiences would be the most interesting though.

Yeah in general though I think highway hitchers are more of a gamble than city hitchers. It was broad daylight in a busy area, I didn't feel in danger at anytime. On a secluded road however, at dark, I doubt I would have done the same thing. The guy was funny though, when he got out of the car he was yelling out "Happy Docta Marrin Lutha Kin' Day, happy Docta Marrin Lutha Kin' Day!" to a bunch of black dudes I don't think he knew who were standing outside the Temp place who were cracking up, and he was telling me how I was a "cool whitey" and that I "wasn't no cracker." I think his name was Roy or Rufus. If you run into a late 50s or 60s black guy who shakes a lot, has matted dreadlocks, and has one of those names, give the guy a lift, he's quite an interesting character.Roy or Rufus, wherever you are Godspeed my friend, Godspeed.

Not to sound rude but... are you right in the head? I'm a bit concerned. I didn't understand a word you just said.

lol, oh yes that must be it.

I think all those white lines he snorted are screwin with his brain

Then you must be unable to read English.

That's crazy! I would NEVER pick up a hitchhiker!

Oh dear sir! I'm sorry I forgot to mention. I only read proper English. You know? The one where sentences are formed to actually make sense.

His post wasn't messed up. It was fine. I read through it with ease. Nothing wrong with helping out a fellow citizen. I would have probably done the same thing if I didnt have anything better to do. I've done it before. Not any older crack addicts or anything. Just young people.

Sigh... you guys totally missed the entire point. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain.

Bloodstained t-shirts..got it..no picking up those guys..And i have an advise to you..like you said to me about bloodstained t-shirt..If you see a big guy in a green torn appart jacket and a hockey mask with a big machete in his hand..you should ask his name before you let him into your car...And if he says "jason voorhees" then you are safe..because jason do not say a word..so..now you know..

No I haven't done coke since like a week and a half ago, over break, I was just high on pot.

I think you need to stop doing drugs hunny! I stopped doing them on saturday.. Its hard.. but.. it fucks u up!...

actually she's a very bright, sweet and intelligent young lady... some of the characteristics that you lack

Actually I'm working on something else but hey let's go with that.

I don't do hard drugs while school is in session, party because I feel like shit after an all-night cocaine binge party and because I can't concentrate when I'm fiending.

Pots another thing though, I need it to sleep and to self-medicate when I'm stressed out and need to relax.

there are other ways to relieve your stress then by smoking weed.

Great way to deter hitchhikers: When they introduce themselves, just look at them out of the corner of your eyes and say (in as demonic a voice as you can manage) "Ah don't worry about names...I'll just call you NUMBER THIRTY SEVEN" then cackle maniacally :smile:
