I've never hitchhiked per se, but when my car broke down in Sedgewick, AR (middle of NOWHERE, plus I have no cell phone), a very nice old couple stopped to help me. THey didn't know what was wrong with my car so they offered me a ride to the local college where the man taught so I could use the phone to call someone to come and get me. While I waited they even bought bought me a soda and a candy bar from a vending machine. It was super nice of them.
While I wouldn't accept a ride from a stranger normally, there's some cases where you don't have much of a choice. I mean with me it was, 1)walk literally for miles in the dark to try to find a phone (not a very safe option), or 2)accept a ride from a nice old couple to get help.
