That's better than my story. In high school my friend and I lived just barely too close to take a school bus. We live in MN and it was a crazy cold day so we were standing out for the city bus that was supposed to run every 20 minutes. After 45 minutes waiting we still didn't see a bus down the street and so we decided to hitch hike. We got picked up by drug dealers. They stopped in the middle of a major intersection to make a drug deal and were trying to talk us into going with them instead of school. They did drop us of, so alls well that ends well. But it was the last time we hitched a ride from strangers

Can you imagine if it was any other industry besides drug dealers. Engineering companies picking up kids offering them to go to science and math based schools.

I once carpooled over the swizz border and the driver said he had a significant amount of weed in the trunk. However we should not worry as they never pulled him over. Of course they stop us and check our I'd. Luckily they weren't very thorough and let us go. Only for the car to break down after a few minutes.. As we barley managed to coast into the nearest rest stop it started raining. It took close to 2h for the tow truck to arrive, plenty of time for our driver to roll and smoke some. Then we were grated with the stale waiting area of the mechanic's shop where we were told they had no cars available. Ann hour later they find out how good his insurance is and suddenly find a posh suv for us too continue our trip. That is when I was told how to smoke in a rental without getting fined for it. All in all it took 4 to 5h longer than expected and for a portion of the drive I had a rather stoned driver. Though to his credit he rose to every challenge the journey threw at us with an extremely relaxed attitude.

That's also better than my story:

I'd ordered an uber and they were across the street about to make a u turn to get to my side of the street when someone else coming out of the T intersection behind them hits their front right wheel from a rear approach.

Gave the driver my take, they were nice enough to cancel, and I got another (for work)
