In this part of the world you occasionally hear the odd pilot request reduced separation for departure.
I watched a Dash8 depart after a 737-800 having made such a request. The 737 tookoff from an intersection and the Dash was full length, the Dash didn't spear in but at about 100ft it turned very nasty..............I would be surprised if he makes that request again!
