Has anyone here ever hitchhiked in their time? Seem to be a alternative way to get around back in the 70s and 80s. Who here has picked up a hitchhiker before? What was that experience like.

I’ve watched way too many serial killer documentaries/movies to do either.

I've only hitchhiked once, but it wasn't for a long distance. I once picked up a female hitchhiker, who told me that she had been shot while hitchhiking in Spain, but survived. She said she only dared to hitchhike in Finland after that.

No. I did find a hitchhikers guide at the bookstore, but it didn't seem relevant. Like, is a towel really that useful?
