I was bumped by a car behind me in the exact same situation. I looked in my rearview mirror and immediately saw the cell phone in her hand. What made this particularly amusing was when we got out of our cars to assess any potential damage, I realized the woman only had one arm. Fortunately there was no damage — especially since I was in a rental car and wasn't looking forward to the insurance rigamarole.
I am now similarly cautious about such "false starts" — I try not to start rolling until I think I'll be able to continue smoothly accelerating to normal speeds.
