hitchhiking is goofy to my notion.
in iowa hitchhiking is almost zero.
we all know each other there and are friends even with complete strangers.
neighbors help each other out, no need to hitchhike into town.
washington state... not like iowa.
i see hitchhikers everyday. (out here neighbors do not help one another like im used too)
i never pick them up as they look like someone i would not like to have near me.
why do i wanna invite trouble and or bad smells?
flag me down if you are injured and need help, im cool with that.
you have not bathed in 2 months, youre wearing the exact same clothes for the last year, you smell like dog shit and you look like you are either drunk or drugged up...
no need getting into my piece of shit car.
keep walkin buddy...
funny, i always pitched the person you described as you.
i kid i kid, don't go jumping off a bridge
listen here little mister
you better watch yourself
btw, fuck that
Chad, If i lived where you do...I'd hitchhike. Small town, friendly people.
My friend used to call chat lines and have those people come pick us up. I wouldn't know about her plan until some weirdo showed up at her door. Then he'd take us somewhere. Once, it was from Kirkland all the way out to Ocean Shores...a good 3 hour drive...one way. I suppose she figured that since there were 2 of us, at least one of us would be able to get away. Not really hitchhiking...more of 'arranged hitchhiking' I suppose....I did accept a ride from a stranger once, I was walking to the bus stop, and the bus was 10 minutes early, as I came around the corner, the bus flew by. A car stopped and told me to get in and he'd chase the bus down for me. He caught the bus and I was off on my way to class...that was also 15 years ago.
Depending on where I am, I may still get a ride from a stranger. Tacoma=no...Medina=yes.
friendly people?
where?
here in WA?
you got to be kidding me, yes/no?
the only reason i live here is because its beautiful and i love the forest.
and here we have trees, mountains, and ocean all right here.
i have not met more than a handfull of friendly folk the entire time i been here.
and lots of rain... i likey that a lot

hitchhiking sucks for all people involved.
kidding? no...
and are you calling me 'not friendly'? :twisted:
most non-friendly's are transplants that are pissed off at all the rain
Western WA=lots of rain
lots of rain=lots of angry people
lots of angry people=lots of unfriendly's
do you walk down the street with a sneer on your face?
then I suppose people would not want to be friendly to you.
I run into grumpy people all the time...I tell them 'Have a nice day!'
because it makes them madder
Have a nice day Chad!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

simple as that.
I've only hitched once when I was 16 with my boyfriend. We were stuck in the middle of nowhere after staying on a friends farm for the weekend. It was a Sunday and there were NO cars anywhere!!! We stood on the side of the road for 4 hours before a crazy old lady picked us up, she drove way too fast and chatted to us like she knew us. It was kinda fun.
I've picked up hitch hikers twice. The first time I was about 20. It was pouring with rain and 2 young guys were trying to huddle under a tree to keep dry. They were so greatful, lucky I had vinyl seats cos they left puddles. The 2nd time I was coming back from a weekend away with a friend and we saw 2 very young (maybe 13-14) girls. We picked them up mainly to make sure they were safe. They sat in silence the whole time. Fun times!
And on a similar note.. I was at the fish n chip shop a couple of months ago. It was raining and cold. There was a large group of teenages hanging out. I noticed the guys were roughing up one of the girls (who was wasted). The girls all disappeared into the toilets and the guys were laughing at how easy she was. I went into the bathroom told the four girls to come with me. As we walked out the boys started to get lippy so I told them to all fuck off and grow up. I drove the girls home.
I would probably pick hitch hikers up more often if I didn't always have a car load of kids.
My Mum and Dad would pick up the odd hitchhiker, so I guess that's who I got it from.
I've not picked up many myself, but I have a favourite .
22 years ago we were driving at night, going home from a 3 week road trip.
My partner was driving our camper van when he sped by some 'clean cut' kids hitch-hiking.
He said we "can't trust anybody".....THEN!!
20 minutes later he stops for a scruffy looking hermit bloke hitch hiking :? .
We had a 4hr jouney to go, so the men got in the back of the camper and sat at the table and drank beer while at 17 I had my first long-distant, highspeed, highway drive at night with lots of Nocturnal species going about thier bussiness. ( awesome )
Turned out the bloke lived accross from our home town pub and was so greatful for the 'best ride ever!' he gave us valuable shells and coral ect. He was a very eccentric fisherman who made his $$$ from the leftovers in craypots. I only recently lost the fossilised skeleton of a tiny seahorse he gave us.
The last one I picked up doesn't count. He was a drunk Irish man who hit me up at the pub for a lift home, and now thinks I'm his local taxi :roll: .
So, I guess I'm saying it's a shame that some rotten apples ruined it for everybody.
When I was in college in Olympia, WA I hitchhiked all the time. It was my primary mode of transportation, and I picked up hitchhikers all the time. I just didn't allow people with dreadlocks in my car, since there were some funky ass dreadlock in that town. But I went to a total hippie school, and it was relatively safe. And it was a fun way to meet people. Especially stoners.
I don't think I would do it again. But it was fun.
...This isn't really hitchhiking, but it reminded me, a few weeks ago, I was on my way to work and I saw a woman in last night's outfit walking out of my man-whore neighbor's apartment. She was looking around, totally lost and had no idea where the hell she was. Perfect walk-of-shame moment. I felt so bad for her upcoming journey- either on a crowded rush-hour bus or trying to figure out where she was so she could call a cab, and then waiting in her tiny dress and heels. I pulled over and said "Just get in the car girl, I'll take you home. I've been there, its gonna be a long wait for a cab" We both laughed a bit and she appreciatively got in the car. I dropped her off and home and a light bulb went off. This would be a really good business- for chicks by chicks- no more walk of shame.

I have hitch hiked and I used to pick up hitch hikers all the time.
My only criteria was they couldn't be carrying anything, no bags, back packs, duffles etc...
not that they couldn't have a knife or gun in there pocket or anything! :? :shock:
"...And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show."
chadwick...you didn't really think I was being serious?....did you? :?
i did actually.
What about when I said he also does clown parties? believable?

You bet. I had a lecturer who had to assess him when he was in prison and he reckons of all the badass shits he had to assess, DF was the one who he couldn't stand to be in a room with. Nasty nasty bit o work that thing is.
the concept of hitching a ride from a stranger to feel "free" is alien to me.
ya... traveling by having to depend on rides from strange people doesn't seem all that free-ing to me.
