If there is someone coming to a stop behind me, I will roll back a tick to make sure they know I have a manual - even if I'm already stopped, if someone looks like they're barreling down on me, I'll let off the brake to roll back and then pull back up to where I was originally.

Its just precautionary and I'm not near as aggressive about it as I used to be with my Ford Explorer when I was a lot younger. One time a guy kept inching up on me closer and closer at a red light. I had already done my warning maneuver twice earlier, so I got irritated and started letting off the brake slightly every time he inched forward (note: each time, I was rolling back a few inches each time while he was rolling forward a few feet). Eventually, my hitch was inches from hitting his hood and he honked at me. The light turned green and I got out of my car and made the idiot back up so I could go without rolling back into him. This was on a one lane highway road with virtually no traffic at the time - I wouldn't have pulled this crap in traffic.
That's awesome!
