Someone on the ground turning, not realising that behind them someone was landing to one side. And if you are close enough to the runway markers to not have anyone land next to you, I would worry about hitting a runway marker. You just can't see behind you. Don't turn. So personally, I think it is a bad habit... there is a good saying "more haste, less speed". Land straight ahead and pull up reasonably fast, without overloading your brakes.
