What do you think about hitchhikers in Poland? [33]
Hi !
Some weeks ago I was driving to Germany from Poland together with a friend. We saw some people hitchhiking on the way. I had never ever taken someone before, however because of my friend was insisting, I stoped the car and took the hitchhiker.
On the way, we were talking about experiences in general. The hitchhiker mentions that he likes to travel a lot but he has neither money nor job, so he travels only by hitchhiking and stays at other people's house whom he contacts through the internet and offer him accommodation. I asked him why he doesn't work and he replied me '' working is for suckers''. So it is not a situation that he couldn't get a job, but that he DOES NOT want to work.
In a couple of times, he was quite annoying insiting me in driving like a maniac (as an average polish driver), he wanted me to continously be overtaking and so on. I got tired of him and decided to drop him at the next station. He got pissed off about that and we argued but I finally got him out of my car. I will never ever take a hitchhiker again.
What I dislike about people like him, is not that he doesn't have money, but that he does not want to earn it by working. He complains about having no money, but yet he spends his time traveling instead of working. He travels as a parasite, living from other's people ''charity'' and expecting other people's to help him and with an attitute of '' it is their responsibility to help me''. He expects also to be ''feeded'' since he almost doesn't bring food with him and if he does it is a very limited amount. He didn't even have money for buying himself a f***king coffee.
What is your opinion about beggers like him?
I have seen in some previous threads that people claim that '' poles travel a lot'' , is this what they mean by traveling, ''hitchhiking''?
If they cannot afford traveling, they should stay home.
