Why do you stick around this forum?

Isn't that uncomfortable?

Yes. But less uncomfortable than standing in line outside a soup kitchen.

Might've been a different time/place

Probably. I find certain parts of my province and certain times of day are worse than others. Hitching out west was actually fun. Here it's hit&miss. About one in 5 mention sex to me. About one in 20 are quite rude about it. I've only had to pull a weapon a few times. I jumped out of a car that was still technically moving once. We were at a stoplight, so he had no choice but to stop as I opened the door.

I think I can count the number of women who have picked me up in 20 years on my hands. They're very skittish about strangers around here. I think that thing with Erin Moran from Joanie Loves Chachi must have put people off to hitchhikers or something.

One guy who was actually quite harmless scared the bejesus out of me bc his social skills were a little off. He was telling me about hunting and describing all his guns and gutting and killing and how annoying vegans were. He described his crossbow and told me about the frikkin armoury in his car in a slightly aspie-ish way... and then he told me in the bluntest manner I've seen outside a porno how he wanted to lick my pussy. And I mean how. In vivid detail. Then he reached toward the back seat with this creepy stare. Not a winky, sexy bedroom eyes stare. I mean preternatural, fisheyed blinkless stare. Jeez Louise, I thought he was going to pull one of those weapons on me. But he held a pack of cigarettes out for me instead, and asked if I wanted one. Fuk, I nearly peed myself.

Well, I guess I must have looked a little bc he went all softspoken and stammery and asked if he scared me. Well all I could manage was a no and some excuses about why I had to get home, and I asked him to drop me at the next exit. Shame, really. He wasn't bad looking. Gorgeous body, huge arms &chest, decent face--kinda like a young Pacino. But his pickup technique was even worse than Jimmy D's.

Do you give out "poor people" vibes or something?

Why do you think Trayvon Martin got shot? On this side of the pond, our cities are divvied up into 'gated communities' and ghettos, and people are always trying to keep certain 'types' out of certain areas. If I'm seen near a ghetto, soup kitchen or red light district, people just assume it's ok to ask me for sex, no matter how I'm dressed. Just the other day, at 3pm, outside the Greyhound station, this weirdo offered me money for sex. And I looked like a Walmart Mom! My hair was scary and I was wearing my laundry day clothes. I get that all the time. It's bloody annoying.

If I wear nice clothes, the cops start asking me if I'm a hooker, and that's even worse.

I stick around this forum, with the hopes of burning it into the ground with my jedi will power...

Yeah, I've done that before... nothing quite like being picked up by a drug runner who wants to drive off the highway, down a long desolate rural road, with no advanced warning to show off his trunk contents. "Hey where are we going?". Or meeting someone who just lost thousands of dollars at a casino... I admit though, some people are really nice, in fact all of them probably are, it's just a little unsettling at times...

But he would have been so sexy if he'd just kept that stuff about killing and gutting to himself. And then to jump right from killing to pussy...It's funny now, but at the time I really thought he wanted to tear my limbs off and fuk the bleeding sockets while he licked up the gore *shudder*

Yeah... I have a feeling my information falls on deaf ears here... I mean since I've been extradited from all other venues that make a difference...

Yeah same here... I remember my heart skipping a beat as I watched my hitching buddy get into the back seat faster than I got into the front...

Jedi powers... how about shielding... I've been working on that getting that up for months... never ceases to amaze me how much say a socialist web has... this is like a final resting place for me, until they tear it down...

Remember getting a lift from this one dude who drove erratically fast because he was drunk, he had just lost his job, his wife had left him, life wasn't worth living, and suicide was on the agenda..

Great!!!!! It's these golden moments that make hitch hiking worth giving up.

Well face it... hitchhiking is thrilling... there are no ifs ands or behinds about it...

Oh really. Most of it was amazingly boring, interspersed with acute moments of abject terror.

Remember waiting for 12 hours just outside Helsingborg, Sweden, for a lift to Stockholm. Sweden was a bummer for getting lifts.

Yeah, I dunno... I remember this livid lady in a tutu and surprisingly my hitching buddy knew her kids... some people like met absolutely everybody...

Everyone here is laid-back and entertaining. The other parts of the forum can kind of get a bit too dramatic for me.
(And because I like Mr.Omega's posts)

Yep. MrO's a big box office draw.

He's kind of the Brad Pitt of PF.
