"Now, what do you think to yourself? Do you think: 1. Don't criticise him, he's offering you a lift. 2. What planet was this weirdo brought up on? Now re-read the thread." He can offer you a lift and you can get into the car but if you don't like the way he drives, the interior decor of the car, the car's paint job, the topless Hula girl gyrating on the dash or that funny smell coming from under the seat (or worse, the trunk!) then you're pretty much out of luck if you really want that ride, aren't you? That is, unless you refuse the ride and thumb down another driver with a car that suits your tastes, or pay the fare for a bus or taxi and get the kind of ride conditions you'd expect. If I were driving and I picked up a hitchhiker who did nothing but bitch about how he had to flag down and refuse the last ten rides, then proceded to complain about my driving, my car decor and my little Hula girl--- I'd give him the boot and let some other poor schmuck deal with that person.
