Sign up to pick up complete strangers in your car. What could go wrong?

LOL, maybe this type of activity will help “thin the herd.”

I saw 3 100% hipsters in the wild today. Teal colored vans, sailor tats, all 3 on fixie bikes, one had gages big enough to drive a mat-v thru, thrift store t shirts etc etc. This is expected with the warmer temps.

This has been going on in the DC area for a while and is a near necessity due to the HOV lanes and horrible traffic out here. I would caution against sneering at this and also sneering at folk out of hand because of the way they dress.
Whatever the reasons, I will not pick up complete strangers to ride with me under any circumstances. I also actively plan my life to not live in places where doing so is seen as necessary.
As to the hipster angle, that’s all I saw in the video segment. Call them hipsters, young urbanites, whatever you like, they are not like me and I am not like them. On purpose.
You win internet situational awareness points and style points. You rock.
Hipsters are soo much more then how they dress.

Subtlety has never been a quality of mine.
Every one I’ve ever conversed with, are well, the complete opposite of me.
Porno Movies and Horror Movies both start this way…knowing my luck I’d get the psycho instead of the VW bus full of cheerleaders.
ROTFLMAO…
my BIL does that. He seems to enjoy it. . . . though I was supprised by the fact that the driver only gets paid tips. Passengers can stiff them. And they have their rating system. The drivers AND the passengers rate each other.
Now what I’d want my family doing, but it is honest work.
What a bunch of horeshit.
I didn’t buy a car so random fuckheads can bum a ride and then possibly “tip” me. Sounds as stupid as Craigslist ads which want you to bring your expensive jewelry to a shopping mall parking lot to complete the deal.
My POV is a temporary sanctuary that provides brief alleviation from the oxygen thieves I suffer daily, no way in hell I’d give that up.
Seems like a big risk in many ways. What happens when you are in a wreck and the person you are giving a ride to sues you into the poor house?
The first time something horrible happens…this feel-good hippy shit will disappear.
Myself, I wouldnt be caught dead in a car that had a fuckin fuzzy pink moustache and a “dream catcher” hanging from the mirror.:rolleyes:
I don’t think I’d know one if I saw one. 
Anyone else see the affiliation between “Lyft” & Left"?
They can have their trendy, lib, social orgies. I’ll stay at home & be antisocial.
I seem to recall one of the benefits of the “good old days” (as related by my safety conscious parents) was hitchhiking without fear, as either passenger or driver.
Those good ol’ days ended about 30 years ago. Hollywood was even making movies to that effect in 1986.

Anyone who accepts random passengers off the street is nuts - even by San Fran standards.
