Hitch-hiker by Migiri

1

Hitchhiking is a character-building activity, 

It requires perseverance and guile to persuade a motorist to stop. 

But I would think taking off his shirt would have sufficed for this guy.

2

A sensible driver will take precautions with a stranger.

 The law of unintended consequences kicks in for the hitcher.

3

Once you're tied up, one thing leads to another.

Who doesn't fiddle with the gearstick on a long journey?

4

Who doesn't want to stop for a nibble every so often?

The service areas are so convenient for a refreshing break.

5

The hiker never knows where the journey will take him.

How far the driver wants to go with him.

Sometimes the strangers will inexplicably bond together

6

A long boring drive can cause the mind to wader and fantasise.

Especially when there's inspiration sitting right beside you.

7

It's good manners for the hiker to offer a small sum towards the fuel

If they are broke, there are other ways of showing appreciation.

But that roadside ruse to attract attention may come home to roost

when the hunky HGV driver parks up.
