I unclip the curbside foot so that when I stop I'm leaning away from any cars that might be to my non-curbside.

And as far as the motorist that honked at you, thinking you might go through the stop, I don't come-in-hot to at a road crossing/intersection where I intend to come to a full stop. I want the motorists to be very aware of what my stopping intentions are, and make them comfortable. I don't need them jamming their brakes on, and possibly cause a another trailing motorist to quickly swerve around them to avoid the accident, and hit ME.
