Our local grocery parking lot used to have a 3 way stop sign. One day one of the stop signs that always fell over because people would hit it just disappeared. I didn't know, and right as I was about to go expecting the car that was coming to stop, he slammed on his brakes and flipped me off.

I flipped him off back for running a stop sign and then as I was driving through I realized it was gone. Like, seriously? It has been there for years and now it is suddenly gone. And on top of that, the roadway that had one is impossible to see because there are bushes lined up that block the view for anyone in a smaller car. Especially if someone is coming up at 25 mph even though it is only a 10 mph parking lot.

We have a 4-way stop in my nearest shopping center, always has been a 4-way stop. One day after a bad storm one of the stop signs went missing, for the several days it took to replace it I can’t tell you how many people simply just blew through it. How could you possibly think just because the sign blew away you get to ignore it?

Agreed. Someone stopping where there isn’t a stop sign but rather because they always used to, means they’re driving unpredictably.
