Would you pickup a hitch hiker??

Question

Last weekend my friends Shawn, Jay and I decided to drive up to the mountains to party because its a lot of fun during the summer.

Shawn was driving, jay was in the back, and I was sitting shotgun. We were almost to the highway when Jay noticed some dude hitch hiking by the side of the road. Jay told Shawn to pick him up (kidding of course). We were pretty surprised when Shawn actually pulled over and the guy got into the car.

He was older. Like maybe 44 or so. He also had a big brown bag next to him. So, we drove up the highway and asked him where he was going and he said Plymouth N.H. which is like 2 hours north. Kinda near where we were going. We started breaking the ice and talking to this dude asking him why he was hitch hiking and stuff. I though everything was fine till Jay asked him what he was carrying in his bag......

Then his look of normalcy turned into a very mean look and he turned to Jay and said NONE OF YOUR F-ING BUSINESS!

I was like WOOOOOO!!!! We just pissed this dude off. Wow! So, the car got silent again for a few min before conversation picked up again and Shawn had to ask that question again.... Well dude were giving you a ride man.. So tell us whats in the bag???

BIG MISTAKE!!!! He freaked out!! He was yelling and spazzing out.. I thought he was going to kill one of us!! He said once again NONE OF YOUR F-ING BUSINESS!! But he calmed down once again.. Thank God!

At this point none of us want to be in the car with this guy and we were a long way from where we were going.. So Shawn decided to announce that we were getting off the highway and we were going to stop at a grocery store to buy cigarettes.

So that what we did. I stayed in the car while Shawn and the STRANGER went into the store.

Then, once Shawn realized we could make a run for it and get the h**l rid of this guy he ran back to the car and took off!!!!! HIS BAG WAS LEFT SITTING ON THE SEAT!...

Well thats my story and it was a very crazy time that weekend. We could not stop talking about this guy and our experience.

Ohh and if you were wondering what was in the bag??? NONE OF YOUR F-ING BUSINESS!!! LOL HAAAA!

Answer 1

Well, lucky you all got away alive, unharmed. I would never pick someone up. It's not that I'm mean but I'm a small 20 year old girl so I would be putting myself in A LOT of danger doing so. My father use to pick up strangers all the time and he had some pretty crazy stories to share. It's just a very risky thing to do no matter who you are.

Answer 2

lol not after that story!

now you've made me curious as to the bag's contents; tell us!

Answer 3

It sucks that nobody hitches anymore. I had a blast doing it through college, met all sorts of cool people, never had a problem I couldn't deal with.

I travel 50K miles a year or more for work and rarely see a hitcher I'd pick up. Most are drifters, mental cases or criminals. Luckily, there are drifters, mental cases and criminals with cars, too, to pick them up.

We've lost faith in each other to the point that people fear hitching - who knows what kind of psycho will pick you up - and people fear hitchhikers. Just 20 or 30 years ago, it was THE way to get around for people without wheels and with a little free spirit.

I still do pick up the occasionaly hitcher, but they have to look fairly decent and be following the rules: no standing on corners, start walking and show some effort; make eye contact and try to smile; carry luggage even if you're just going across town.

I've been rewarded with interesting stories every time, and an insight into lives and lifestyles I had little knowledge of. It's an adventure, both for the driver and the hitchhiker.

Do be careful, though, especially with the guys with mysterious paper bags. There are some real head cases who hitch a lot and they may not be dangerous but they can disturb your calm.

Answer 4

FREAKY!

I wouldn't do that!!!

Now I am wondering whats in the bag! haha but I don't need to know.

I hope shawn learned not to pick up hitch hikers anymore.

Answer 5

wow crazy my heart would be beating so fast but seriously what was in the bag lol

Answer 6

if i wasnt getting any *** n was asking to be raped

Answer 7

Wow!!! people who usually hitchhiker are usually a little off to begin with, it could have been a head in the bag for all you know. That was really messed up taking his bag though, you could have just tossed it out the window but if you were in a rush to dump this guy it is really understandable.

To answer your question, NO!!!!!! Ever seen the Hitcher (the original?) crazy c**p like that could happen!

ps. what was in the bag?????????
