Would you pick up a hitchhiker?

Question

Just a poll...

Answer 1

if they had a child with them yes. otherwise no

Answer 2

I have a few times -- but not in a long time. Mainly because I mostly drive a commuter car and there's stuff on the passenger seat. Also, I'd rather not be bothered while I'm listening to some radio show.

But when younger, I had no problem with it as I can defend myself.

Answer 3

Mybe. If they stopped me while the car was still and they asked nicely where I was going and if they could ride with me I'd do it. And only if they were female or perhaps a man, woman and child. And perhaps if they would have been teenagers. And maybe not even in these cases. You can't be too careful these days.

Answer 4

no way

Answer 5

Not in a million years.

Answer 6

Yes ~

Although, a singular answer is NOT the whole answer as a descision as to whether to stop for this guy or that girl!  It would be based on a number of factors that are not easy to define nor to articulate.

However, under the terms of the lease of the Motorbility car I drive, any descision is taken out of my hands; I'm simply not allowed to.

Sash.

Answer 7

    Never. There is always a chance that the hitchhiker is some type of criminal, and I'm not putting my life in danger.

    Thanks for asking. :)

Answer 8

h**l no.  

Answer 9

If there was 2 people in the car, and I had a gun in the car, with the person in the backseat having the gun accessible and ready....then yea sure...

But i don't have a gun, so h**l to the no i wouldn't.   Probably the ONLY TIME i'd EVER pick any hithhiker up would be the college kids walking to school (although they're not necessarily hitchhikers) and anyone on a military instillation.  But on the highway, and out there in the boondocks?  Newp.

Answer 10

yes, if i was in that situation

i would want a ride too...

Answer 11

Doubt it.... so no.

Answer 12

h**l no, unless it was tommy chong

Answer 13

Not after seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre... Who knows what other shenanigans I could get into with a hitchhiker?  

Answer 14

Absolutely not--that would be the height of foolishness these days.

Answer 15

Sure.

Answer 16

Only if I knew them.
