After visiting my partner I went to the stores for the weekly shop.
Driving along a car came flying from the left, through a stop sign and missed me by maybe half a metre? The people in the car, all young men, gesticulating with fingers, presumably as an apology for their bad driving.
I was shaken and continued, the very next crossing a car came through on the right, again though a stop sign. I didn't have a hope.
Fortunately they managed to stop almost touching my driver door. It was centimetres, I couldn't open my door they were so close.
Very shaken I managed to get to the shops and did my groceries.
I got back to my car, loaded my stuff and then thought.
I'm going to buy a lottery ticket.
Does luck come in threes?
We will find out tomorrow.
A shaken but not stirred Cindy.

Wow, Cindy, that must have been terrifying. If you were just "shaken" after two of those in quick succession, you're a rock of calm and strength.
That stuff is happening more and more often over here -- I've noticed recently that at a four-way stop sign, a lot of people don't proceed until they see that the car coming from the side is actually stopping.
Good luck with the lottery... (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthefiringline.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fwink.gif&hash=fd49c1687b59c0ea097a7b4f1ed562a996fdaf5c)

Cindy, did you check to see if someone painted a bullseye on your car? Glad you're ok!
