Don't worry, that's "normal" too. It's "normal" for your car to stink, pedal to stick, and for the car to make sounds like it's scraping against the ground when you reverse.
Needless to say I've had that problem too. As far as I can tell it happens when the car is already warm and in reverse. Most of the time it has happened when I am rolling backwards down my driveway with the gearshift in reverse but the clutch pedal in. I've only ever noticed it when I have been driving and return home, pull the car up toward the garage, but for whatever reason I pull back out (dropping somebody off at home, forgot I need to juggle the cars around, etc). It's strange because I can FEEL it in my clutch pedal. Lasts about 1 or 2 seconds and then stops.
Before anyone starts yelling about "driver error" again, the first time I honestly thought I'd scraped the bottom so I got under it and looked for scrape marks...none to be found to this day. Likewise with driveway...no marks.
