My truck was loaded with tools up to the ceiling and I really didn't want to stop and explain to her that I had no room in my truck. And I was hauling stinky garbage in the back so I was tempted to pull over and offer her a ride with the pilau rubbish in the back. Just venting. Anyway if you're hitching it might behoove you to be polite to everyone whether they stop or not.Well, obviously you weren't going to give her a ride so why not yell that? Or had you given this mooch a ride before then and it was expected? Was there romantic or Jilted lover syndrome in this instance (aka Ride for Ride)? Maybe she likes sitting on a claw hammer with a nail bag.. We dont know.
Stop giving these people rides. Stop feeling sorry for yourself because you didn't. I can understand someone with a gas can walking but these people expect you to give them free transportation.
