I do this too. Every so often the next car still doesn't get it though. This is my first manual since I first started driving. So I had about two months of experience 8 years ago. On my drive back from the dealership I had one of the people that didn't "understand" my roll back when I saw him coming up behind me. I got a little bit spooked then and ended up peeling out a bit on start up. Needless to say, he got the hint then and stayed the hell back....
