I hitchhiked twice in brooklyn – I was waiting for a bus and a guy offered me a ride. I was running really late so I accepted. When he dropped me off, he asked for my phone number but I told him no. It almost scared me off until one friday afternoon when I was running super late. I went to my sister to help her out and needed to get back to my apartment. I was waiting for the Nostrand bus when I saw a frum guy in a car. I asked if he were going up Nostrand and he said yes and took me up.
I don’t advocate picking up or trying to hitchike though…
