Closest I ever got was taking a ride with an acquaintance of my Dad's who was going where I needed to be... Guy was nice, but damn that was uncomfortable and weird being alone in a car with a complete stranger (to me.)

Never hitchhiked, but I have accepted rides from strangers.


Last time was two years ago in Cancun, we decided to save a few bucks on the taxi back and burn some calories with a walk back. As we walked a man, lady, and baby in a small toyota single cab drove by and stopped and asked if we wanted a ride. I jumped in the bed of the truck, my companion was mortified but complied.


After they dropped us off, I tried to give them all the cash we had left but they refused and said tell your friends how nice Cancun is.


Worst case, I knew I could jump out of the truck bed.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

Yeah when I was a little kid, I used to get rides from these strangers who for some reason wanted to touch my pee pee.

The night of our first date, our mutual friend left me at the Knights of Columbus with my now husband. When I came out of the ladies room, he said Tim wants us to come to his house, wanna ride? ...so I did
