The shortest wait, well, that happened a lot, when your holding a sign when you get out of a car at a gas station on the highway and friendly people notice that.
 
My longest wait was in [[Argentina]] where I gave up after 18 hours.
 
* In 2006 I successfully hitched a ride with 5 other people, in [[Argentina]], around [[San Marcos Sierra]].
 
=== [[Driving for your driver|Driving for my drivers]] ===
* In 2005 or so, getting out of Paris, after being dropped at a really bad spot I started [[walking on the highway]] in the hot sun and after half an hour I was picked up by a guy moving from his stuff from [[Paris]] to somewhere south from [[Toulouse]]. He let me drive his car for 2 hours.
* In June 2008, hitching from Amsterdam to [[Avignon]], I managed to get to a busy gas station in [[Luxembourg]] at around 22:00 and found a ride straight to my destination. The car's dashboard was not working, I wasn't convinced of the driver's driving style and after an hour or so, and asking about my driving license, he offered me the steering wheel. I drove all the way to Avignon.
* In August 2008, hitching from [[Berlin]] to [[Trento]] an Italian at a gas station close to [[Munich]] was a bit tired. He had dinner there and I showed him my driving license and I drove all the way to Trento through the pouring [[rain]].
