When a person by the side of the road sticks a thumb out, is that person hitchhiking or doing/saying something else?

I can never tell if someone is hitchhiking or just approving of the street

Maybe they’re not hitchhiking, but just complimenting your driving. Then you pull over& tell them to get in& they do so it won’t be awkward.
