Yes, but I saw her.
We are leaving to go out to western MA in a bit, so we decided to go out for a walk before packing. Got down to the bottom of the hill, where there's a 4 way stop. We were going straight. We stopped, looked and went. When we were in the middle of the intersection, as close to the edge as we could be, a woman comes to a stop on the cross street, on our right. She looks, stops, and goes while we are directly in her path!. I yelled to DH, and he decided to scare her, and pounded on her car. I had a sense she was going to do this, so we were able to stop and watch her antics. After we crossed her path. She stopped, and apologized, but I was furious, as I kept thinking, I would be dead if I had been on my bike. I usually wouldn't be going straight here on my bike, but sometimes, I do.
I called her a Massh*le, a nasty slur around here, and reminded her that one needs to actually look when stopping at a 4 way stop. She was not on her phone, so that was not a reason.
There are tons of cyclists, runners, walkers, and x country skiers on roller blade skis that go up and down my street... this is a disaster waiting to happen.
