1. It Gives the False Impression of a Shorter Line
and to keep people from butting in.

3. Yep...People do the same illogical thing when driving and
...waiting in line at a red-light.
They'll creep and creep until they are 2 feet from the person in front of them.
I want to yell: "Hey..Idiots!...When the light turns green you're gonna' put 15-30 feet between you and the car in front of you anyway..Geez".......

4. So that someone else doesn't harbor the illusion that the line ends
in front of them and they can just butt right in.

5. I'm evil
when someone is up too close behind me, I pretend to be distracted and take a big step backward. Oh, oops!
