Hi,
As you can see this is my first post, sort of!!! I usually come in under my partners username: davidlud : so “Hi! to those I have spoken with before, as well as those I haven’t!” []
Anyway. What I am going to write isn’t exactly funny as it happened to my sister and her boyfriend a few years ago and I actually told them it was a really silly thing to do.
They used to live in Rockhampton, Qld. One weekend they had been visiting relatives in Brisbane and were on their way home when they stopped to fuel up at Gin Gin. (Approx. 4.5 hrs from Brisbane and 3 hrs from Rockhampton.) Anyway, they fuelled up and sat down to have lunch when they starting talking to a young, female backpacker. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the backpacker needed a ride to Rocky so they offered her a ride, thinking she seemed really nice, and quite harmless.
They had been driving for a while when the girl started acting a bit strange and she opened one of her bags and took out a smaller bag and placed it on the seat. She didn’t say anything about it, just kept her hand on it. After about 20 minutes, my sister was feeling “not right” about their passenger and was beginning to feel a bit uneasy about the small bag which was lying on the seat as the girl seemed to be very “protective” of the little bag. My sister isn’t one to mince words so after a while she asked, “So, what’s in your bag?” The girls response was actually a bit of a shock to my sister as she said “Nothing to do with you so mind your own bloody business!” My sister just replied, “Sorry, I was only asking” and the girl just replied “Yeah, well mind your own bloody business!” My sister was getting quite annoyed with the girl by now and was wishing that they hadn’t offered her the ride.
Then about ten minutes later, after the girl seemed to be getting restless, my sister asked her again what was in the bag and she gave the same reply, “Mind your own bloody business!” Then my sisters boyfriend, who, by now was also feeling very uneasy with this girl and her strange little bag, piped up and said, “Look, if it is such a big secret with what is in that bag, then obviously, with how you are acting, you have something to hide. So if you don’t want to tell us whats in the bag, then we’ll just drop you off at the next town and you get a ride with someone else.” The girl just said, “Fine then’ drop me off if you can’t learn to mind your own bloody business!” The next town happened to be just up the road, Mt Larcom I think it was. They stopped the car and she got out and as they were driving off she just yelled a whole lot of obscenities, screaming abuse at the top of her lungs.
My sister and her boyfreiend actually felt such relief that she was out of the car. They certainly learnt their lesson: never, ever pick up hitch hikers, even if they do seem harmless enough. But the weirdest thing of the whole trip was that the girl had jumped out of the car in such a frenzy and she was so angry that she actually left that strange little bag sitting on the back seat of the car. Now thats weird! [8]
