Thumbing through to Uncoolsville.
So I've sadly returned from my Byron holiday older and wiser and
SOME THINGS YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T SAY TO A PAIR OF SULLEN TEENAGE GIRL HITCHHIKERS IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN A SEMBLANCE OF COOL IN THE FACE OF YOUTHFUL ALOOFNESS:
1.
Me: So....hitchhiking, eh?
Girl #1: Yep.
Me: Pretty dangerous business.
(Beat)
Me: Not compared to wrestling with crocodiles, obviously. LOL.
Girl #1: (glancing over with undisguised loathing) ...Right.
2.
Me: (trying desperately to fit in) Yeah, I used to hitchhike a bit myself back in the day. Not that I'd recommend it now. You don't know what kind of creeps drive through Bangalow.
Girl #2: Totally.
Me: *breathes heavily*
Girl #2: ........
Me:*rubs palms against bare thighs*
Girl #2: ..............
Me: Nah, I'm just messing with you. Seriously though, nice shorts. Are they from Dangerfield?
Girl #2: ...................
3.
Me: Once? When I was hitchhiking? As a young girl? Some weird old guy tried to kiss me. And I was all, like...ewwwww.
Girl #1: Gross.
Me: You're telling me! Old men. YUK.
Girl #1: I blew a truckie once.
*long pause*
Me: (thoughtful) I guess old guys take it where they can get it sometimes.

Could have done a 'Wolf Creek' and started going off the beaten track somewhere and looking at them with wide eyes and a cheeky grin.
Is hitch-hiking a fad thing? I've seen a lot lately. Never picked one up though.
Nothing scares the shit out of a hitchhiker than when you casually lean your elbow on to the door lock, just as you make a quick turn down a dirt road.
I wouldn't recommend playing this trick on anyone you couldn't handle in a fight however, as they get a bit scared :p
I could have taken them easy. They were only about fourteen.
Still, one of them had a lip ring. Best to play it safe.
Teenage girls aren't what they used to be.
or are they. ug
hilarious thanks for sharing
I take what I can get, Dataceptionist.
Me:Yeah who hasn’t blown a truckie, we’ve all done that
Girl 1 looks at Girl 2 with raised eyebrow (Mr. Cricket rubs his legs, for some time )
Girl 1:I was just messing with you ,I would never do something like that
Young girls today are also trickers
You can't be cool trying
You should have said that to the girls. They would have laughed so hard. Phantom comics=number one hottest trend among teenage girls today.
I have to avoid making "LOL" jokes to first years these days, to avoid appearing like the ageing hipster that I am.
I really must take note of this Phantom comic phenomenon for work. Imagine the smash I'll be with the 'kids'(TM).
Mine, of course. What do you think I am, grubby?
oh dear go no!
*oh dear god no!
I didn't see any chickie hitchhikers, only pissed young men - that I was too scared to pick up.
Or did she???
Good times.
Female hitch hiker noticing grimacing: 'Gee you look like you are very pregnant"
Partner: 'Yep, on the way now'
Hitchhiker: 'Um, should we stop?'
Partner: 'Nope. This child will be born at home as a waterbirth. It's all organized'
Hitchhiker notices more grimacing and low moaning. 'Um, I think I'll get out here, thanks'
Said child appeared a few hours later happy and healthy.
Hitchhiker still disturbed.
Off topic, Ms. fits have you encountered this fan club/hate club of yours as of yet?

"It's the worst case of nepotism I've ever seen."....nepotism. Sounds disturbingly like necrophiliac, although I realise it isn't. Favouritism, something to do with families, etc. And it only has one member.
By the way I was sure I saw you at the festival. You look like a teenager and if that was your BF he looks like pree teen.
I have to stay hip to this jive, or I will look like a total square in front of "the kids"
Activities: Civil war re-enactment (don't get much of it in oz).
Favorite Music: Blues.
Favorite TV Shows: Family Feud.
Favorite Movies: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Favorite Books: Crime & Punishment
Aww, sweet. You should join his group Fits.
He was so upset with me!
"Don't you know how dangerous that is!!! You could have been killed!!!" etc etc etc.
I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one who picks up randoms to see them safely to their destination... Maybe there's a group of hitchhiker picker uppers on facebook somewhere?

...and is that comment from the real Miranda Airey-Branson ? Does she even understand what nepotism means, or does Ms Fits have some unknown relative working in ABC upper management that I'm unaware of ?
Ms Fits I think you're safe, until you start saying anything like "whats this MyFace" or "FaceSpace" (both of which I've heard my parents and/or boss say) you can still be considered hip.
