A woman tells a story about how, at age 17, she was picked up by a strange man while hitchhiking. It was an encounter that would turn her off from the practice forever.
It was a snowy night in an unidentified area. The man in question seemed fine, if quiet, at first. At one point, however, they came upon a hazard on the road and the woman yelled, “Watch out!” The man then yelled back that she should never, ever scream at him.
He then ignored her requests to let her out of the car and drove quickly while muttering to himself about how he'd told her before not to yell at him. Keep in mind, they'd only just met. Finally, he pulled into a gas station and let her out. He then pulled back up and returned her hat, which she'd left in her haste to get out of the truck. Inside, she discovered a $100 bill and a note telling her she shouldn’t hitchhike anymore.
