As somebody who encounters a dozen cyclists every day, it DOES matter and the "do whatever we want" behavior of many, many, many, many, cyclists is a big problem.
Some of the stop signs on my path are 5-way, which are already screwed up enough without having to guess which random direction a cyclist will coast from (usually endangering pedestrians and cars alike).
When I am trying to turn right at a stop sign, a disturbing number of times a cyclist will approach from somewhere and decide to coast around the corner while I am turning too. Then I have to worry about seeing him when he should have STOPPED.
I also see cyclists turn from pretty much anywhere they want. They don't use hand signals, they don't switch to the driving lane, they just randomly hang a left in front of you while you're approaching a stop.
Cyclists expect to share the road, they need to obey the rules. It really can't be any simpler than that.
