Hitchhikers

[Dukasaur]

When I was a kid I hitchhiked everywhere. Crossed the continent 3 times.

Whenever I'd get stuck without a ride for a while and nobody was stopping, I'd always tell myself, "When I grow up and have a car, I'll pick up every hitchhiker I see." Lol. It's like those promises we make ourselves not to be assholes like our parents. Just get ready for disappointment. Nowadays I almost never pick up hitchhikers. Not that I have any aversion to it or that I'm a totally inconsiderate prick, but most of the time either I'm in a big truck with a stopping distance of like 600 metres, or I'm in just too much of a hurry, or I have 20 bags of groceries on the seats and I don't see how the two people and a dog could possibly fit.

Plus the hitchhiker might rape you.

Very unlikely. Generally speaking, hitchhikers are about five times more likely to be victims of rape as perpetrators of it.

Well they should've stumped up for gas money then.

Added the missing word so it reads why he actually stopped picking them up.

Plus the hitchhiker might not rape you.

Very unlikely. Generally speaking, hitchhikers are about five times more likely to be victims of rape as perpetrators of it.

Those stats really ramp up in duk's trucks.

Stopped at a desolate rest stop in southern Oregon once driving north up the 5. Two hitchhikers from Utah had been stranded there for two days. I think they were going to harvest marijuana somewhere. Can't recall the name of that job. They said they hated Oregon because of the trees; they preferred the desert. I drove them as far as Grant's Pass where one of them thought he knew someone.

It's not possesive, it's just Grants Pass. Or, alternately, Shithole.
