I used to give a ride once in a while if it was a girl or woman. The last time I did I realized after we were going 55 on the highway that she was crazy. I was really scared and just agreed with everything she said. She couldn't stop talking and made little sense. I dropped her off at Walmart and will never pick up anyone again!

same here. used to give them rides, but have had too many negative encounters. smelly, unappreciative, and generally weird and/or dangerous. I feel bad for people when I pass them, but that passes pretty quickly (usually about 55mph

Nice husband picked up local male at top of our subdivision, who stole his cell phone. Police said "his word against yours", even though the "kid" was using it! Another neighbor picked up someone who stole their ipad computer that was not password protected. Two lessons there! Sad to be taken advantage of by losers.

The vast majority are simply freeloaders with no job and no desire to get one. Shaka Steve was the only one I regularly picked up.
leilanidude, good afternoon to you.
I also got use to giving smiling Shaka Steve rides once in awhile.
What happened to him? I have not seen Steve in a couple years now.
With the extra convenient ways of transportation like Uber in the area maybe we won't have as many hitch hikers around.

gypsy,
If current hitchhikers can't afford soap & water, do you think they'll be able to pay for a ride with Uber?

He fell in his house (just up from top Leilani entrance) and died from a head injury.

I propose hitchhikers hold up a sign with a bar of soap and a $5 bill printed on it, to let drivers know they are bathed and willing to kick in towards gas and expenses. Anyone without the sign is left in the dust, and anyone lying is sedated and gets their organs harvested. Fair?
