Couple times, long ago. A young hippie couple, once (back in the days of real hippies) who looked so young and innocent that I had to stop -- and they really were. And a beat up older man who looked kind of confused. I let him out pretty quick, because he was hitching on the southbound side of the freeway and it turned out he wanted to go north. Like I said, confused.
Right now I'm working on a college campus that's about two miles from the center of town, and I probably pass up ten thumbs a day at the various campus bus stops when I drive off campus.
The students all have free bus passes, but there's always someone who wants to see if they can hitch a ride and get there faster. And it's usually a pretty girl who's shakin' it or a big, self-assured young guy. In other words, the bold, not necessarily the deserving. I have no problem passing them by.
