A few times on very calm days I have felt wake turbulence from the 152 or
172 ahead of me on final! Tower, on one slow, still day, even issued me a
mock wake turb warning from the 152 ahead on final!

a year or two back some guy on this list flew into IAH with jets in
front and behind him. I remember him saying how the tower
told the 737 (?) behind him, "Continental XXX, you are 7 miles behind a
Cessna 172, caution wake turbulence."


Kind of like when the tower told me while on short final of some birds.
I didn't know what to say so I simply said, "traffic in sight."
My CFI looked at me like I was some fool but what was I supposed to
say?
