Probably not but I have never encountered that situation so I really do not know..
Yes as long as long as my children are not in the car and within reason. I tend to pick up couples or families I see walking quite a bit. I hesitate when it comes to single people.
I did once, but only because he was a young guy wo was stranded in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday when there was no other transport. It worked out ok but I woldn't do it again. You just never know who you are picking up.
Not unless I knew the hitch hiker very well. I would move on. If the person is in an isolated location, I would call the sheriff or highway patrol and give the location.
No, I wouldn't. I often see them and wonder what circumstances they're in so that they need to hitchhike, and I feel sorry for some of them, but in this day and age I just don't think it's safe. If I were a guy, I might feel different.
Nowadays you are taking an awful risk in picking up any hitchhiker. Several years ago, this seemed to be a safer thing to do, but there have been too many cases that have ended in tragedy when people have tried to lend a ride to what looked like a.harmless individual. It is simply too risky and should not be done in today's world.
I don't care if they were in the desert or woods, no. There are many people that look "normal" who can do crazy things and not think twice about it. I can place a call to local authorities so they can assist. Even if they are with children or in a pair, you just cannot trust strangers.
i always pick them up unless they look really dirty or drunk.
I used to pick up hitch hikers because I used to hitch hike myself-- (this was a long time ago in an area where I knew most people). Then I had a weird experience giving a ride to a guy I knew by sight-- he didn't say one word, not hi or bye or anything and it creeped me out enough that it was the last time.

My opinion is that Michael Jackson was a kid toucher, bottom line. I loved Jackson's music when I was a kid, but when he started bleaching his skin and wearing shin guards, I realized something wasn't quite right with him. ADULTS SHOULD NOT SLEEP IN THE SAME BED WITH LITTLE CHILDREN.Am...

Do you get grossed out when you have to pick up poopy after your pet?Or do you just get used to it? I know in my neighborhood it is required you pick up the poopy after your dog does its business. They even provide plastic bags and trash cans. Is this something you just get used...

The fact that we live in a country where we have to consider putting guns in schools to try to keep our children safe is an indication that we have a problem. If the “guns in schools” works then do we put guns in movies, churches, malls and anywhere else people gather. Protecting our...

At the grocery store, people have dropped items and then looked at me like I was suppose to pick them up. I don't. They can pick up their own items. I wouldn't want someone touching my groceries, "Here is your cucumber". What if they hadn't washed their hands? Or they expect you to...
