Cute girl on the right side of the sidewalk, shift into 1st gear, car blips, revs up to around 5000 RPM and you brake while coming to the light, the girl gives you the 'wtf, what an asshole look". Now as you're at around 10 MPH with your foot on the brake, as you think the car will come to a complete stop, the car surges forward again, like a jolt.
You are trying to downshift going way too fast. Max speed in first is like 35-38mph (don't recall exactly) and the car will NOT let you downshift into max speed anyway as that is already redline. It is probably saving you from an overrev by not engaging right away but instead blipping and hanging the rpms until you slow down before engaging into gear

Basically don't downshift into first going so damn fast and you shouldn't have a problem.
