From what I've seen, a lot of the red light/stop sign "creepers" are on their phones texting and are giving themselves an "error cushion". Same with the turtles at green lights. People seem to think it's the appropriate time to use their phone at stops. I actually have co-workers (young girls) tell me they don't text and drive. They only do it at red lights. 
True as well as the other post about subliminally sending the light a signal it is taking too long.
I just hope the creepers behind me realize that I am not going to move until the light turns green.

That is my guess as well. Maybe they like wearing their brakes out?

That is the exactly what I have been feeling of late. No matter what I am driving I spot drivers that are going so fast approaching from a side street that I think there is no way they can stop and I am going to hit them when they pull out in front of me. The last second they realize and slam the brakes on. Every time I have the foot or hand on the brake and get ready for it. It's getting a bit unnerving.
Assuming a driver doesn't see you is one thing and that is if they are approaching the stop at a normal speed. The idiots "flying" to a stop is a bad trend.

Just last night I was sitting at a stop light in the left lane, the opposing lanes are split and so I'm looking at two lights very close together. As both lights go green, i gently accelerate and out of nowhere comes a crotch rocket, barrelling down on his red light. It appeared as if we were colliding, he barely stops, i go by, and this guy gets on it like we're in a drag race. Of course I do not humor him and maintain my speed. Further down the road he is stopped at another light, in the right lane. I roll up behind, still in the left lane. I stopped, a menacing bike length, behind him. He cannot stop revving that rice grinder, really annoying for all with ears. The light turns green, and as the smith driving system teaches, "dont be the first one in the intersection", he blasts off like a rocket. Again, i gently accelerate, in a civilized manner, never to see this moron again, i hope. I wonder what his hurry was? It sure was a beautiful night to enjoy a cruise around town.
