who gives a shit about disabled people?

What Ezra didn't have any room in his 1970 Datsun 240Z?

You dumbass, why did you not have your way home figured out before you went up to Seattle?

I don't owe you SHIT, freak, least of all a 3 hour ride in MY car with me and MY friends. You come across as completely entitled and somewhat creepy.

A full tank of gas is not worth having your stanky unwashed ass sullying my pristine seats for three hours, or smelling your nasty vegan tofu breath while you talk about the rights of ducklings in SE Asian countries.

I only promised to call you because it was the only way to get you OFF my ass and outta my sight.

Lesson learned, Blanche DuBois.

But at least you used this space to give mad props to the kind people who finally did give you a ride! ...oh.

This guy's a 2 for none....idiot and asshole all rolled up in one. Thank you for sharing, i anon.

Who relies on hitchhiking for a ride anymore? I thought the dozens or hundreds of hitchhiking-related murders/rapes/kidnappings/carjackings in the 20th Century fully ended this practice.

Ever heard of ZipCar? Borrowing a car? Arranging something ahead of time via Craigslist? What the hell do you expect at a music festival with 20,000 people? There were probably enough crazies in that crowd to merit not even so much as talking to you, so appreciate the nice people who at least acknowledged your existence!

Go eat balls you fuckin pathetic douche, might as well be looking for someone to wipe your ass for you as well.

You are a dipshit. Don't go to festivals without having a way to get home. Only trustafarian douchebags EXPECT people to give them a ride home. This is not fucking Woodstock dude. Next time, at least, let your girlfriend do the talking or better yet let her plan things so you won't have to experience a self-imposed FAIL that you have to whine about. Oh, and SHOWER PLEASE!! (P.S. I feel much better now. Thanks for letting me have something easy to rant on! Take care, and isn't hitching rides kinda unsafe??)

Uhm, is this letter even SERIOUS? Because it sounds soo pattently ludicrous, i find it hard to believe someone didn't just whipped this bullshit up on a very boring night.

Ok, assuming the letter IS legit here's my 4 cents:

People who wear sports jerseys are typically douche bags, especially if they're wearing Blazers jerseys. What on the Devils' Black Earth made you think some "bros" in jerseys were going to pick your goffy ass up?


Why would you attend a waaay outta town, huge out-door music festival if you had to be at work at 9 the next morning?!

You would have filled their tank. You would have bought them beer? Sure, you also would've/could've/might've strangled them & dumped their bodies in the nearest river for all they knew. Dude, this is the NW - spree killer Alley. Bundy once hitch-hiked down that very same road. Been known to happen.

This is the first I, Anon in awhile to make me feel anything whatsoever. Sure, it's complete disgust in the writers entitlement. But, fuck it, at least that's something.

Good on you, Mr. Dildo, good on you. Though I do assume the mentally challenged you work with are coffee patrons? Eh.... eh? Still, get a better looking girlfriend if you want free rides.

Oh yeah, and Canada is awesome. Blow me.

Oh how original, The Mercury prints a letter to rail on the hippies. Yawn.

Do any of you ass-loafs ever travel? You self-centered, self-serving, typical, prick-sauce covered balloon-knots. Some of my best memories of traveling in Europe are the people I met while thumbing a ride. It's actually pretty common in many parts of the world.

Funny thing is, I'll bet every one of you dicklettes complain about single-occupancy drivers and consider yourselves eco-minded and preach about "building communities." Jesus this town is full of assholes these days and no wonder the rest of the world hates Americans.

wait... wasn't this hitchhiking a success? Isn't waiting forever to get picked up just par for the course? That's what you do: Stand there for hours and finally get picked up. *pssst... you got a ride, dumbass. Also, how'd you get there and why didn't you get back the same way? Too annoying?

Does any of this enlighten you as to what a truly repulsive, genuinely icky human being you purport to be? That you had people shine you on for rides because they could see, nakedly, the very thin veneer of civility--like Carmex on shit--covering the abject and spiteful misanthropy you carry like a cancer in your gnarled, mangy gut, does any of this mean anything to you? By the way, when we walk away, palms outstretched, trudging slowly--this is the way we treat a mad dog. Go fuck yourself.

(insert anti-hippie tirade here)

BTW, Bundy was a lawyer with a VW Bug (and a fake cast) and didn't hitch hike anywhere, as far as I know.

"BTW, Bundy was a lawyer with a VW Bug (and a fake cast) and didn't hitch hike anywhere, as far as I know."

Perhapes. But he DID run for the OR senate at one point - on the Republican ticket, obviously. No seriously, look it up.

"To everyone who didn't give my girlfriend and me a ride home from Sasquatch!: You're an asshole."

I assume you keep your opinions very much to yourself in public as an attitude like this will no doubt earn you quite the ass kicking.

Take more personal responsibility next time, idiot.

No car, no cry

Good points, zipitup, but it's really not true that all these folks care about single-occupancy drivers and preach about building community. These are mostly cynical assholes who don't really give a shit about those things and will ridicule those who do care for being smelly hippies.

What a tard. If you've got to be at work the next day, you probably shouldn't be galavanting around and expecting strangers to take care of you.

Tools.

Get a car Asshole!

I've lived in Portland for 20-some odd years and I don't know anyone who calls it 'PDX' (that's the airport, stupid), and I've never heard anyone yell 'P-Town.' It would be like a San Fransisco native calling his city 'Frisco.' Did the monkey team at the Mercury make this letter up to attract a flood of hate mail? Jesus Christ, I hate to beat a long dead horse, but what kind of dumbshit doesn't have a plan to return home when he has to work at nine in the morning? With DISABLED PEOPLE? How Darwin hasn't caught up with you yet is beyond me because your herd needs to be culled.

Oh, this letter is legit because I was one of those assholes that rolled her eyes at these two (or three -- there was another dude, wasn't there?) as I trudged myself back to my campsite in the middle of the night. Yeah, we saw you that afternoon. And yeah, we saw you that night, too. We also watched your unsuccessful attempts the next morning. HEY TOOL, all of the people (read: guys) that stopped and talked TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND about giving HER a ride to Portland would have really given her - 1 person -- 1 female person, with perky boobs - that ride back, except when they realized that she had "extra baggage" (read: YOU) with her. For whatever reason did you think that people that drive from Portland (or Seattle, or the real Vancouver) to the middle of Washington for a weekend long music festival / camping trip, would even have room for two (or three -- really, what happened to that other dude?) extra people and their crap? And you were turning down rides to Seattle! What the hell, hippie? Beggars can't be choosers! You DO KNOW that there's a mf'ing train that will bring you TO Portland from Seattle, right? Don't blame the TRULY responsible people that "had work the next day" for opting out of giving you and your girlfriend and your baggage a $30-gas-tank ride to "PDX." We actually HAVE our shit together.

I have a really difficult time feeling sorry for you. How'd you get there in the first place? Why are you so upset with people who have NO OBLIGATION to give you anything at all?

Conclusion: you're just an asshole.

I think it's hilarious that people complain about "I, Anonymous" submissions.

people with disabilties....person first language dipschit

are you fn kidding me???? get a car fuck pole!!!! thats what grownup do fuck head!!!
