      Why is that? Closure is npt aj alien word...nor, does it have to be believed in or not.
      Its a vocabulary word not a religuous doctrine.

      People are hitching rides because they sometimes deserve to be on the side of the road begging for a ride. They obviously did something wrong to end up on the side of the road.. begging.

    The golden rule is: everybody wants something. Ive had people pick me up that have been completely suicidal. You know how much it sucks when all you want is a ride and the driver "trauma dumps" all their problems on you? Women trying to come on to you in front of their kids, gay dudes, intoxicated drivers, the recently divorced....Ive literally had vehicles pull over to give me a ride and by the time I walked up to them I was telling them I wasnt interested and to just keep going. It doesnt go both ways, it goes every way you can think of and some you cant.

      With all due respect, you sound a little ungrateful. "Trauma dumps." The person is giving you a ride - the least you can do is listen and be compassionate. Maybe you can save a life. With all due respect, its not all about what you can extract from a situation.

    If I had a dollar for every hitchhiker I picked up and for every time I put my thumb up or asked the Girl I was with to put hers up I would have about $500. A person has to be careful and STOP a problem just soon as it starts. A word of advice , if you have to get a ride in a hurry and you have a Female with you just hide on the side of the road with her standing alone. Not even 3 cars will pass before you both get a ride but guy's move fast and when you jump out always wear a smile that says Thank You. Happy trails

      1988...Uber didn't exist...Lyft didn't exist...cell phones didn't exist...cabs weren't everywhere back then, and they were a LOT more expensive than Uber and Lyft are now. Hitching was a lot more common back then. I hitched a few times, and I picked people up on the way to/from work, I once picked up a woman with a baby and groceries. Things were not as easy back then, and not everyone had cars. In rural areas with no public transport, people walked miles to the grocery store and to and from work. The 'kindness of strangers' was a real thing then.
