Mama always said it is a good way to get killed but 9 times out of 10 I will pick up a hitchhiker if they are traveling the same direction as me, there are no kids in the car,  and I'm not running terribly late.  What about you? 

 

Edit: Where do you live? As one poster pointed out in their country it is a really bad idea.  Here in the USA perhaps you have better odds.

 

I would imagine more times than not when approached at a gas station that I've allowed myself to be scammed out of cash by those "down on their luck". More times than not I will go ahead and give them 20 or 40 bucks.  Have you ever been approached by one of these people? If so how do you normally handle it?
