Stranger Danger!

[rubah]

xD schlickjob

I've picked up my friends randomly (not planned, but i saw them and asked if they wanted a ride) but I've never stopped for someone else.

Sometimes I fantasize about driving by the bus stop to ask if anyone wants to carpool with me, but I think my city might have ordinances against hitchhiking.

I read about... Pittsburg, maybe? I forget where, somewhere east, anyway, there was a local hitchhiking/carpool movement, but it was illegal in their jurisdiction, so they had to be all discreet about it xD I should look it up

I've been that girl before. Well, I didn't get thrown out of the car, but I've needed a ride and relied on strangers not to kill me. It was a girl stranger, though. I wouldn't accept a ride from a dude stranger.

I've gone with people I didn't know from parties to other parties before. In retrospect, this is probably not a good idea because I was already intoxicated and they could have taken me anywhere. But it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I would never pick up someone hitch-hiking. But if I were the girl in Bunny's situation, I might have done the same thing if I were desperate. Besides, if I get attacked, I am not about to bend over. I will go down kicking and screaming and inflicting some serious pain.

[Bunny]

I'm a pretty unintimidating guy and my girlfriend was with me so it was probably a pretty safe condition for catching a ride with a stranger.

[Shorty]

Oh, if there was a girl there, I'd feel much more comfortable.

[Bunny]

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that in my original post. Yeah, it was just after dinner with my girlfriend and her family after a choir concert. Yeah sorry.

I don't think I look like a rapist though. Does that help?

I was going to reply to this thread with a no until I saw this, which made me remember that I used to do this with a couple of friends back in high school. My friend had just bought a car and we figured we might as well do someone waiting for the bus a favour since we were driving around aimlessly anyway.

Norway is generally pretty safe to pick up hitchhikers in, which makes small towns in Norway beyond safe to pick up hitchhikers in. So danger was never something we thought about.

I would be wary to pick up a hitch hiker in the open roads of USA....(has watched way too many horror movies with this type of scenario)

[Shorty]

To be fair, not all rapists look like rapists. If they did, they'd never have a chance.

edit: Not meaning that Bunny could possibly be a rapist. Just saying.

[Rantz]

I think he could be.

[NorthernChaosGod]

What if he is a rapist?

[Pheesh]

I assumed the majority of us were all rapists. I mean, come on, there's like 30 year olds on here saying they like Final Fantasy

[NorthernChaosGod]

Touche.

[Shorty]

Are you calling PG a rapist?

[NorthernChaosGod]

I'd be surprised if he wasn't.
