Who goes first at a four-way stop?

Wait until a pedestrian is in the area. That player plays Simon where the sounds are the car horns. The correct car on the pedestrian's first miss goes first.

Nobody. It's a set of stop signs, not a set of go signs.

Edited to add: I now have this mental image of a stop sign flipping over to display a green octagon with "GO" text when it's time for a particular driver to go, with the flipping accompanied with the "clang" sound you hear on Family Feud when they turn over an answer.

Whoever can't hold it anymore.  This is why we have so many lower tier entries on the highest classification of highway urinated on thread.

The first person to get tired of waiting for everyone else to figure out who goes first.

This is also the correct answer.

This is not a democracy.  There's no vote.  You can just decide who wins.

I've personally been considering whichever answer gets the most likes as being the "winning" answer.

Well, that's appropriate for this thread, I suppose, because it's the worst possible answer.  :awesomeface:

Everyone. They all four stop, then spend a few hours constantly waving at each other. There's a misunderstanding, and then everyone thinks that it's their turn to go. They all go at the same time, and invent the 4-way crash.

You left out the step where everyone starts to go, then immediately stops after eight inches, then goes again, then stops after eight more inches.

That's the slow variation of the 4-way crash.  :)

Also, missed opportunity for the "STOP" sign (favicon?) go on your post today.

Mail trucks, because they're federal vehicles. If there's no mail truck, everyone else has to wait until one drives through the intersection.
