If the person above was hitching a lift it's about to rain heavily would you pick them up or leave them to get wet?

    Stop, let her get to the door, then pull off quickly.

    Swimsuit at the pool = good. Set myself up for a chloroform cocktail = bad.

    Leaving...not even paying attention to anyone on the road to know if they need to be picked up.

    I'm too damn sexy to be taking chances with my life to stop for a hitch hiker! LMAO!!!!

    I've picked up hikers before on the highway so they wouldn't have to walk such a long stretch. I'd pick you up, too.

    Glad I'm not the only one! :D

    I'd sure want someone to stop and help me... and I think we're overly paranoid as a society.

    This is when I would be guilty of profiling and using stereotypes. It would depend on who it was.. I have done it and will do it again if my gut says it's right. The last, I was a mile down the road with a niggling in my belly, turned around, went back and picked him (an older black man) up. Never regretted it.. He was a sweetheart. Carrying a brown paper bag, trudging his way down a stretch of two-lane highway, I got to listen to his story as we went a half hour out of the way to help him get to his mother's house for Mother's day to deliver her gift.

    ETA: The lady above, yes, I would give her a ride.

    Overly paranoid? Where are you from? lol

    Where I'm from there has been way too many rapes and murders to take that chance. What utopia do you hail from for a woman to think its ok?

    Edit again: And I wouldn't suggest either one of you ladies pick up anymore hitch hiker because you are a pretty women. Just saying, loves. Be paranoid. :flowerforyou: ...not in a good way. Just complimenting both of you pretty ladies beauty.

    If I had a weapon, yes (women can be violent too, you know.....) actually, scratch that. Leave. I'd chicken out.

    LEAVE - in all cases just leave. It's not worth the risk.

    ETA: I have stopped in the past and it was nothing but trouble.

    Leave, but since I am friends with and have gotten to know inevitable butterfly and the question is the person above, I would pick her up. She's okay and not a total stranger.

    Thank you for caring! I wouldn't just pick up anyone though. This was a thru-hiker on the AT that had clearly left the trail to re-supply and was walking several miles back from town to return to the trail. If no one helps the hiker, he/she can waste a whole day of hiking progress just because they needed supplies. It was a genuinely right thing to do. A few minutes of my time saved him 2+ hours of walking, so I'm glad I picked him up.

    And, now that I think about it, this example happened on the morning of my wedding when my maid of honor went to get breakfast. haha!
