We all know of the Loach, identified by the great Gravekeeper.
Thus far the Loach's normal habitat has been observed as public transit systems. But today I encountered a possible new strain of Loach, attempting to migrate to a new habitat. Namely private transit, as in MY private transit. Either the present Loach's habitat has become too overcrowded, or some mad scientist decided to crossbreed the Loach with the Hitchhiker. And this dreaded spawn escaped the lab, and crossed paths with me today.
On my way to school, I had to stop for gas. I had paid the cashier and was on my way back to my car, when I spotted someone hitting up the other drivers for something-or-other. Inwardly I groaned. Whatever he wanted, I already had no other interest beyond getting to my car and driving off. He asked me for a lift somewhere. Sorry I don't pick up hitchhikers, and I said as much. He asked me if I was going to a particular street. I said no even though I wasn't paying attention to where he said he was going, but regardless I wasn't taking him anywhere.
The WTF moment came when I was in my car. He came around and tried to open the locked passenger-side door. Then he knocked on the glass. I gave him an incredulous look, and started the engine. He pulled the door handle again. My incredulity got the better of me and I snapped "Dude piss off!" I doubt he heard me with the windows shut though. Finally he got the message and backed off just as I drove away.
Seriously, what part of "NO" did he not understand?
Now this person did not attempt to talk my ear off. However he did latch on to me, a well-known Loach trait. Hence my identification as a Loach subspecies. Being the first on CS to identify this new subspecies, I guess I should give it a name. Loacker perhaps? (pronounced: Low-kur)
So fellow CS'ers, beware of the Loacker. Now that I think about it, someone else at CS may have encountered the Loacker at their place of work, trying to bum a free ride. Ah now I remember, it was this thread:

Joking aside, in retrospect I think I made a mistake in barely paying attention to the guy. If my identification had been wrong, and he had been a more dangerous species, such as a Mugger or Carjacker, he could easily have blindsided me as I got in my car. Be aware of your surroundings young padawans, especially when getting in to your car.

Oh my god, that's scary! I would have needed a change of pants if I had encountered that guy!
