What's the stupidest thing you've done today?

My dad asked me to move the truck...my driveway is on an incline, so to be safe he always engages the emergency brake. I take the keys, go outside, get in the truck, put the keys in the ignition and turn it on. I put my foot on the brake and put the car in to gear. It should have moved forward because it was in gear but nothing happened, so I gave it some gas. "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH" I go "Wtf? It's cold out, maybe the brakes are cold or something." I kept driving for another 10 feet and stop. I park the car, turn the engine off and pull the keys out. I went back inside and told my mom the brakes were making funny noises. Then she goes "Oops, you probably forgot to disengage the emergency brake." So I said, "Oh, fucking hell, I DID NOT!" I went outside to go look and sure enough, the e-brake is on all the way. So I go back and turn the engine on again, put the car in drive and took my foot off the brake...the truck rolls forward now. I wonder if I broke it?...(After my dad spent a thousand dollars getting the rear brake pads and discs replaced..

Is that really stupidity or ignorance?

A little bit of both I suppose. I didn't know the e-brake was on. My dad was like "You don't have to give it any gas, it will go on its own." So naturally I assumed it would be off.

Well some vehicles like Honda's move slowly forward on their own, unless you hold down the brake, so I assume you didn't break it.

All cars move forward on their own when the engine is in drive, it's called idling. But I had the emergency brake on.

No, not all cars do. Older cars do not, well at least one I know of.

Pulling a muscle takes a few minutes to recover =/.
