Favorite hitching sign

I've hitched probably over 20k mi. I made a sign once, flew it once.
I was pretty much a minimalist. I never felt the need to fly a sign,
but I'd probably give it a shot if I were hitching now.

"testing for human kindness" with a big ass smiley face. This sign has always worked for me.

^I'd fly something like that.
 
this guy in sioux falls told me he used to get rides all over the place carrying a gas jug in his hand, which he'd fashioned smartly into a lunchbox and would take out an apple or sandwhich once he'd gotten in the car, just to rub it in.

depending on visibility from the place I am standing I might sometimes write out a big fat NORTH or SOUTH etc, but normally just throw out a thumb with a big stupid grin on my face.

Big stupid grin is tried and true. Whenever I see a gas can on the side of the road I'll pick it up and walk with it while I hitch.people seem more likely to pick you up when they think you have a car which is fucked

I usually just put the boring 'Hedin West" or whatever the direction will be...usually works but most of the time I can walk with my dog down the highway and that always seems to get me rides, I think because people assume you're less likely a serial killer with a cute healthy looking pooch.
 
I always write home really big so that people will assume im not homeless. And I also write the direction and the city because sometimes people who are on the road for the long haul, especially now with GPS and people might not have looked at an actual map, they might not realize what they are passing.

this is the funniest thing I've read in a while

I've had good luck with:
"Wholesome as fuck"
"Catch a Riiiiiiiiiiidddddddeeeee!"
"Send feet pics"
"I just need to go 7 miles"
"Wink wink, nudge nudge"
"Don't pick me up"
"Rather be hoppin freight"
"Smiley face"
"Jesus is mah boi"
"We have cake"

For the record wholesome as fuck has been the most successful, followed by don't pick me up.
