Laziest Hitchhiker
This reminded me of the urban legend of the "killer in the backseat." Except, in this case, it would be the lazy hitchhiker sitting in the backseat.

Woman Qualifies for Laziest Hitchhiker Title
Syracuse, N.Y. Jan. 10 (AP) — A woman qualified today for the title of laziest hitchhiker.
Syracuse police found the woman sitting in a parked car. They said she told them:
"I often sit in parked cars hoping the owners will come back and give me a ride downtown. You see, I hate buses."

Comments
When I go to the supermarket to shop, I don't bother finding things I want on the shelves and then taking them off the shelves. That's too much work. I just find carts that people leave unattended, and take things I want out of their carts and put them into mine. It's not stealing! They haven't paid for it yet!

Syracuse in January is not known as a tropical paradise. Our hitchhiker just wants to stay warm and cozy.

Having grown up in Syracuse, I see a flaw in that argument. A parked car has no heat. A bus that's running does.

ges, that's the California bias toward weather showing. Where I grew up in the Central Valley I saw snow only twice in twenty four years. A 40 F day was really cold. And we had no buses to ride.
