The Four-Way Stop Philosopher

There are a lot of things in life that should be simple.

Making toast. Putting gas in your car. Figuring out which way to push a door that clearly says PUSH.

And then there’s the four-way stop.

You ever pull up to a four-way stop and suddenly everybody forgets how a stop sign works?

One person waves. Another person waves back. Somebody creeps forward, then stops. Now all four drivers are sitting there like we’re trying to solve a traffic-themed escape room.

It’s polite, sure… but eventually somebody has to drive.

Because if one more person waves me through when it’s clearly their turn, I’m going to need another Heartburn tomorrow. It’s a stop sign, not a group project.
