# You never get that quality of hitchhiker on the roads these days...
Am I the only one who feels bad about not picking up a hitchhiker?

# You'd have to go to Aviemore, Pitlochry or some other west coast/highland location
in Scotland to find a backpacker. But even there they are lesser-spotted

# I found that Cuba was riddled with hitch hikers

But after having picked up a couple, we were utterly tired of them trying to invent sudden roadblocks up ahead to try and get us off our route and passed their house/school/tobacco plantation. And I'm not even talking about the constant pressure to buy second-rate cigars or to visit said plantations.

# Ha ha, I'd love that over here:
you pull over to offer some lady a lift and as soon as you drive off she whips out clipboard and asks you to complete a survey/buy a time share/join a charity.

They should try that.

# Hahaha
I went exactly like that. Only without the clipboard.
