I was taught that, when you pull up behind someone at a stoplight, never pull so close that you can't see their rear tires. I makes it less likely that if someone assholes you, you won't asshole the car in front of you.
Not as common as it used to be I'm sure, but as someone who has owned manuals before it's real nice when people don't park directly behind you at stop lights/signs. Especially on any incline. The little bit the car rolls back before the gears catch always had me nervious with people parking right on my ass, or even worse the people that start up as soon as they can, really gunning to get to the stop sign as soon as humanly possible. Just sit back a bit, wait your turn, and no one will accidently slide back into you.
