Girl Thinks She Got Her Uber Driver While Guy Thinks He Got His Hooker

My story of accepting a ride from a stranger! What a dumbass I was!

Growing up my dad was a police officer. We were constantly being told "dont get in the car with a stranger", "dont take candy from a stranger", etc... When I was in my early 20's back in the late 80's I had a 1970 Cutlass, 350 with 4 barrel carburetor. Don't rememberI the exact situation but it would occassionally stick. I would have to put a pencil in it to open it and it would be fine. I was working as a Medical Assistant at a doctors office in a good neighborhood. Got done around midnight one night and headed to my BF's about 15/20 min. away. At the time I didnt know him & 4 of his friends were in the garage but unfortunately it was cold out and door was closed.  I get within 3 min (by car) of his home when the car stalls. I managed to pull to the shoulder. I am on a big road but its late, cold, nothing but baseball fields, industrial complex, and woods. Thankfully Philly…

My story of accepting a ride from a stranger! What a dumbass I was!

Growing up my dad was a police officer. We were constantly being told "dont get in the car with a stranger", "dont take candy from a stranger", etc... When I was in my early 20's back in the late 80's I had a 1970 Cutlass, 350 with 4 barrel carburetor. Don't rememberI the exact situation but it would occassionally stick. I would have to put a pencil in it to open it and it would be fine. I was working as a Medical Assistant at a doctors office in a good neighborhood. Got done around midnight one night and headed to my BF's about 15/20 min. away. At the time I didnt know him & 4 of his friends were in the garage but unfortunately it was cold out and door was closed.  I get within 3 min (by car) of his home when the car stalls. I managed to pull to the shoulder. I am on a big road but its late, cold, nothing but baseball fields, industrial complex, and woods. Thankfully Philly had street lights on this road.  Get out pop the hood and try the pencil trick which this time it didnt work. It was flooded. No cell phones at this time or no pay phone in the area. I see this car go by turn around and come back 2/3X. Finally this young guy around my age pulls up and asks if I need help. I explain the situation he gets out and tries to help. We were there for 10 min trying to fix it. We gave up and he asks if he could give me a ride. I knew better but for some reason it didnt cross my mind what I was about to do was stupid. We were only down the street and a few blocks over, he took the time time to help, its cold & dark, neighborhood is good, and its the 80's, he was young, dressed ok, clean looking, clean shaven. Back then you usually didnt have young pervs they were older dudes. It was rare for anything bad to happen in this neighborhood. Never even occurred to me that something could go wrong. Again I should've known better. I get in his car give him directions and off we go. We pull in front of my BF's house and dude says, "what are you going to give me"? So I go for my wallet and say, I can give you $10. He replied, no! I said, thats all i have on me. At this point looking for my keys. He then says, "I have it out reach over & touch it". So now I start to panic and reach for the door handle. There is no window handle to roll down the window and no door handle to open the door. He says, I dont want money, come on its all ready out all you have to do is reach out and grab it. I start screaming and kicking the door but never looking over at him. Finally he handed me the door handle. This was all planned on his part before he ever got out to help. I knew better to not get into a strangers car yet I did. Chalk it up to stupidity, naivety, I really cant say.  To this day never really figured out why I was dumb enough to take that ride from him:) Thankfully other than being really pissed off at myself for getting in his car & being so stupid, my boyfriend for not fixing my car prior,  the garage door being closed lol, I walked away unharmed. I did get to the garage and we all went out looking for him but never found him. I reported it to the police just so they were aware there was a perv out there preying on women. Never told my dad until I was in my 40's. Had I told him that night I would've never heard the end of it and he would've been out on the streets looking for him. Lesson learned!
