Abusing the 4-way stop sign on Upper College road

From what I can remember at driving school four years ago, it is proper and the legal way to stop at a four way stop sign. The order of vehicles passing the stop sign should follow a counter-clockwise pattern following the first car to arrive at the sign. Somehow it never seems to work that way on Upper College road at the 4-way stop sign located where Campus Avenue crosses Upper College road and turns into Briar Lane. I pass through that stop sign every single time I arrive and am leaving campus. The majority of the time, I have seen cars get cutoff, pedestrians almost being run over, and students who drive with attitude flooring their cars after slightly tapping the breaks at the stop sign. I’m not trying to say I’m the perfect driver, but this is not rocket science here! Stop at the stop sign, wait for the car to the left of you to cross through the intersection, and then it’s your turn!
